Tasting notes
"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vallocchio represents a new wine in the Fanti portfolio. Fruit is sourced from four vineyard sites that are all located in an area known as Vallocchio in the Castelnuovo dell'Abate subzone. Specifically, vines are planted on a southeast-facing slope at the heart of the estate. The wine opens to a beautiful garnet-ruby color and medium concentration. The bouquet shows savory tones of leather and cured meat backed by ripe fruit, fig, plum and Indian spice. The wine is masculine, layered and intense. Yet, the mouthfeel ultimately shows a softer, more streamlined approach. I do want to note the 15% alcohol that feels surprisingly well integrated. "
