Franco Paceti Brunello di Montalcino (Red)
More from this producer: Franco Paceti
2020
Pretty translucent. Lots of fresh pretty flowers on the nose, some red fruit and some pretty torrefaction. I'm finding the oak quite evident on the palate, with supple, rounded tannins and quite a bit of alcohol dominating at first. Rich, powerful, and with a beautifufl freshness on the finish. Overall - pretty, refreshing, lots of red fruit, lots of tannins, nicely extracted. Not the most complex or concentrated, but certainly passable.
