Cupano 2020 Brunello di Montalcino

The nose is gourmand, very ripe, even roasted (fresh morello cherry, roasted red cherry, crushed strawberry, roasted plum, raspberry coulis), as well as chocolate, cocoa, an expressive aroma of roasted rosemary, dried thyme, associated with a savoury touch of liquorice, grated nutmeg, white pepper, as well as sweetness of vanilla, peony and iris. After aeration, we find notes of toasted hazelnut, even chocolate hazelnut. The palate is round, silky, with fine but solid tannins. It expresses the gourmet fruity flavors (fresh morello cherry, roasted red cherry, crushed strawberry, roasted plum, raspberry coulis, black plum), a touch of more pronounced dark chocolate, as well as the same sweetness of peony and iris, a good bitterness of coffee and sweet spices (liquorice, grated nutmeg, white pepper, vanilla). Beautiful lively and salivating acidity, good length with notes of fresh and roasted aromatic herbs on the persistence.
