Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 'Mercatale', Ridolfi, 2019

Ridolfi

An extraordinary Brunello showing rich and long lasting aromas of dark cherry, forest fruits with a spicy and balsamic finish. Powerful and structured with marasca cherry, hints of cloves, and nuances of wild mint. Full bodied, with bold and velvety tannins. It was aged 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and then at least 12 months of bottle aging. From the outstanding 2019 vintage.

"Bright ruby red with shimmering edges. Warm hearted aromas of cherry and plum as well as dried herbs, especially rosemary and a background hint of pepper. Juicy fruit on the palate, builds beautifully, with noble tannins, animating acidity and a lingering, salty finish."
