The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is an attractive, juicy wine laced with sweet red berries, flowers, spices and licorice, all wrapped in a soft approachable style that is quite appealing. This is an especially fleshy, radiant Brunello from Villa Le Prata. The 2007 should drink well upon release and for at least another decade beyond. The 2007 was made from parcels in Tavernelle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, and spent a total of four years in barrel, most of it in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
