Note di degustazione
Fossacolle's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is dark yet extroverted, showing notes of crushed plum, ripe strawberry, dusty cedar, a citrus spritz, and refreshing red florals. Strawberry, with hints of spice, inner cedar and leather tones all open up on the palate. The 2015 finishes with medium-length and zesty, tart wild berries with a touch of spice.

Tasted blind. Concentrated ruby with bright orange tinges. Sweet nose of dark fruit with a hint of candyfloss. Mellow dark fruit on the palate that becomes more sappy and juicy on the finish. Imposing tannins! (WS)
The Fossacolle 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a prominent mineral note of crushed stone and talc powder. It becomes a fitting segue to more typical aromas of wild berry fruit and balsam herbs. There is some firmness or tannic bite on the close that suggests extra cellar aging is required. Even just a few years should be enough to shave it off. This wine is tightly coiled and inward-looking at this early stage in the game. The finish is structured and angular, but it just needs to open. Fruit comes from a 2.5-hectare vineyard with full southwest-facing exposures. Some 17,000 bottles will be released in February 2020.
Excellent ripeness of fruit here with glazed strawberries, blood oranges, red licorice and dried spices. Superb density and focus to the centre palate, which is layered, ornate, plush but balanced. The finish goes on and on with nutmeg, tar and saffron. Wonderful length and intensity. Drink from 2024.
