Magia, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2012 Sweet cherry

Sweet cherry

The Brunello saw 34 months of oak prior to bottling

fresh and intense on the nose

My projected range offers the benefit of the doubt that this will flesh out with time in bottle

There is a subtle stony element suffusing the attractively well-detailed medium weight flavors that also possess a lacy mouth feel while delivering fine if not truly exceptional complexity on the balanced finale

Magia, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2012 Sweet cherryThe La Magia 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (made with organic fruit) is a bold and powerful wine with a full bodied approach and a strong 15% alcohol. The wine is redolent of cherry liqueur, baked fruit and blackcurrant. Beyond that, it offers plenty of toast and oak spice with cinnamon, tar and licorice. The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through, and that's what ultimately gives this wine its freshness and brightness.
