SassodiSole pulls its winemaking prowess seamlessly together with the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. Although its drinking window may not be as wide as other wines from this classic vintage, this specific wine is already starting to come into its prime. Its appearance is dark and austere and there’s plenty of ripe fruit and dried spice to keep your attention. The wine also shows a pretty evolution in the glass, spanning from dried cherry to root beer to black licorice. Don’t wait too long to enjoy this upfront wine. Drink: 2015-2020. SassodiSole is a 45-hectare estate located in the less-explored Torrenieri quadrant of the appellation in the far northeast corner. Vineyards are planted between 280 and 320 meters above sea level with south-facing exposures and limestone soils. It is farmed by Roberto Terzuoli and his family.
