Deep red. Ineffable, deep aromas of wild strawberry, blackberry, espresso, underbrush and sweet oak. Densely packed and sweet, with strong minerality contributing to the impression of extract. A big, mouthfilling wine that's rich and broad but also quite vibrant. Finishes impressively long and bright, with horizontal, very fine tannins.

This wine has a similar style to the 2001 Serpico Irpinia Aglianico, with the addition of a fresh fruity taste that is in perfect harmony through the entire lengthy finish. This is possibly my favorite Brunello of the vintage.
