Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto shows an intense ruby red color and
nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense,
clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of plum,
black cherry and blackberry followed by aromas of violet, vanilla,
blueberry, licorice, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, clover, mace and menthol. The
mouth has very good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable roundness. The
finish is very persistent with long flavors of black cherry, plum and
blackberry. A well made wine. Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto ages for 27
months in barrique followed by at least 36 months of aging in bottle.
