Note di degustazione
A dark, juicy beauty, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Franci offers gorgeous inner perfume, sweetness and mid-palate depth, all in an attractive, mid-weight style with plenty of near and medium term appeal. Hints of sweet tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and sage add nuance on the silky finish. This is another terrific showing from Fabio Tassi.

Tassi's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Franci opens to medium body and savory tones of Indian spice, dried fruit, licorice and dark cola. The balsam herb intensity is very attractive. This wine veers toward the ethereal and away from the obvious fruit and berry tones you get with less sophisticated Sangiovese. In fact, this is a wine that seemingly basks in the Brunello spotlight with all the small, enticing details and aromatic trimming you should expect of a wine of this craftsmanship. It sees 36 months of slow aging in traditional oak casks. The finish is feminine and delicate with rose hip, dried violets and forest tones.
Concentrated ruby with orange rim. Interesting, savoury nose with hints of cherry and dried fruit. Opulent ripe cherry fruit on the palate. Mouth-filling concentration and soft acidity and bittersweet, slightly astringent tannins on a peppery finish. Not entirely knit together (yet). (WS)
