Note di degustazione
The 2015 Brunello Riserva offers notes of licorice, baked cherry, tobacco and forest floor. The palate has ripe cherry, resinous herbs, and tar, with gripping structured tannins that don’t let go easily and are somewhat dominant in its structure. This is classic and unapologetic Sangiovese that I would welcome at the table. Cellar for 2-5 years and drink 2024-2032. Fossacolle is located in Tavernelle, where they farm their small, four-hectare estate.

The Fossacolle 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with a mere 2,000 bottles to be released after February 2021) offers richness and depth with a very linear and direct quality of fruit. There is plum, blackberry, spice, earth, leather and tar. This Riserva occupies the darker side of the spectrum, although the mouthfeel is ultimately lighter and more buoyant than you might expect.
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva blossoms in the glass with a pretty bouquet full of bright cherry, strawberry and a dusting of sweet spice, all offset by hints of leather and earth. It coats the palate in silky richness, which is then perfectly cleansed and enlivened by zesty acids and tart red fruits. There’s plenty of balanced structure for medium-term cellaring here, tapering off to sour wild berries and hints of citrus.
