Luminous pale red. Classic Sangiovese aromas of red and dark berries, violet, blood orange and red licorice. Juicy and fresh, offering vibrant strawberry and candied violet flavors, with a jolt of liquid minerality on the back. Gains sweetness on the floral, long finish that features repeating blood orange notes. This doesn't strike me as the most concentrated or memorable Brunello Scopetone has ever made (one of the best and yet most under the radar Brunello producers), but I do like this wine's balance and precision. Maybe I just caught it in an awkward phase.
