Note di degustazione
Medium red. Red berries, musky oak and a whiff of flowers on the nose. Silky, lively and sweet; not at all a blockbuster but shows a lovely fine-grained texture and good vinosity to its flavors of berries, flowers and graphite. Not the last word in concentration or length, but this juicy midweight is attractive and nicely understated.

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino marks a significant change of direction from past vintages. The dark, heavy style has been replaced by a much more finessed, elegant expression of fruit. Sweet red cherries, crushed flowers, mint and licorice are woven together beautifully in this silky, multi-dimensional, graceful Brunello. Sweet notes from the oak are intermingled with floral overtones on the silky finish. The 2006 is the most interesting wine I have tasted from Fanti in quite a few years.

Medium concentrated ruby with orange-tinged rim. At first quite oak dominated, but there seems to be more going on. Quite sweet and perhaps slightly one-dimensional due to very ripe fruit. (WS)
