How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

The wine is visibly clear, brilliant, an intense ruby red color, with reflections of garnet. In the nose the wine is Intense, full and ethereal, revealing the aromas of herbs, forest floor, small red fruit and rich perfumed roses.wine. A beautiful concentrated Brunello with a lot of elegance, a good acidity as a backbone. Rich in its fruit but with a beautiful spicy undertone. Incredibly complex and with a long aftertaste. A real pleasure to drink! This Riserva is only made in the top years. The 2015 is the successor of the 2012
Uncork the bottle at least 2 to 3 hours before serving. It is recommended to decant this wine, so that the wine is well aerated. Drink the Riserva with red meat, game, mushroom and truffle dishes.

These two wines from Fattoi are both distinguished by the intensity and the saturation of their appearance and aromas. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with only 5,000 bottles ready to go to market in March 2021) is a dark expression with perfumes of prune, plum, black cassis and blackberry. These aromas are presented with greater intensity in a warm and sunny vintage like 2015, but you also get some of the tannic highness and austerity of a wine that has been aged for so long. Winemaking is executed in a very traditional manner with bold and simple lines.

A fine-tannined red with plum, berry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium body and creamy, fine tannins. Very drinkable now, but better in 2022.

The territories of the Italian Fattoi family are located in Montalcino, in the municipality of Siena (Tuscany region). Here the family works with enthusiasm and professionalism on the production of wine and olive oil that have made Montalcino famous all over the world. The Fattoi winery is located in the southern part of the municipality of Montalcino, in one of the most beautiful valleys and at the junction of the rivers Ombrone and Orcia. The company has 70 hectares divided into 9 hectares of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino vineyards and 5 hectares of olive groves, while the rest of the country consists of forests and grain production.
Deze geconcentreerde Brunello toont rijke aroma's van pruim, zwarte bes en klein rood fruit met geparfumeerde rozen, kruidige ondertonen, aarde, stevige maar verfijnde tannines en een frisse zuurgraad die voor lengte zorgt. Daardoor snijdt de wijn door het vet van rundvlees en wild en complimenteert hij de umami van paddestoelen en truffel, terwijl zijn rijpe fruit en kruidigheid prachtig samengaan met oude kazen zoals Parmigiano en Toscaanse pecorino en met tomaat‑gedreven pasta's en pizza's. Geef gerechten zoals een gegrilde entrecôte of langzaam gegaard wild, een romige paddenstoelen‑of truffelragù, of een houtovenpizza met gekruide worst en Pecorino en decanteer de wijn 2 à 3 uur voor het beste resultaat.
