Note di degustazione
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Lucére is a bold and powerful expression that is generous in terms of its aromatic delivery. The wine's appearance is dark and beautifully saturated with bright rays of ruby and garnet within. The bouquet reveals extra portions of dark fruit, plum, spice and tobacco. The oak spice is not fully integrated and the wine would benefit from three to five more years of cellar aging to see if it ever does. Given the plump and rich nature of the fruit, I don't expect this to be too much of a problem. Stylistically, this is a wood-heavy Brunello and will appeal to those who like more opulent expressions of Sangiovese. It does need more aging time however. That is for sure.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Lucere is dark, powerful and inviting. Dark cherry, smoke, licorice, spice and menthol flesh out nicely in the glass. Green notes from the new oak are distracting, although there is good aromatic and palate intensity throughout. The Riserva is certainly a solid wine, but it could have been even better. Proprietor Roberto Giannelli aged the 2010 Riserva in 10-HL casks.
