Vecchie Terre di Montefili, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bruno di Rocca, Tuscany, Italy 2017

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Sangiovese

The nose is clean, pronounced and fruit-forward with bramble, ripe blackberries and cooked blackcurrant. Enticing aromas of freshly cut mint and dill and a hint of flint add depth and intrigue.

The Bruno di Rocca is dry and medium-bodied. High acidity and medium, fine-grained tannins provide important structure that tempers its high alcoholic content. Bold flavors of stewed black fruits, licorice and eucalyptus emerge in succession, yet remain scintillatingly synergic. Savory notes and a touch of leather accompany a long, satisfying finish.
