Ruffino Brunello di Montalcino Greppone Mazzi

95pts James Suckling:

"Ripe plums with some cherries, toffee and cedar on the nose. Changes to flowers. Complex. It’s full-bodied with a deep, rich-fruit and tannin structure with just the right complement of firm tannins and ripe fruit. Very long and serious. Best from here in a very long time. Better after 2023."

From the winemaker: 

Ruffino Greppone Mazzi Brunello Di Montalcino Red Wine is lush and full-bodied, and ages well with its fine tannins, vibrant texture and abundant fruit note. Composed of sangiovese grosso red grapes, known to locals as brunello, this Italian red wine offers intense aromas of ripe plums, cassis, and maraschino cherry with notes of incense and spicy black pepper. Ruffino Brunello wine is very well-balanced with red fruit, chocolate, and tobacco culminating in a long finish. Each bottle of wine is crafted from the finest hand-picked grapes from the Greppone Mazzi Estate vineyards in Montalcino
