Solaria's 2007 Brunello di Montalcino shows some of the wilder notes of Sangiovese in its red cherries, flowers, smoke, earthiness and tobacco. Medium in body, it comes across as a bit rough around the edges. Nevertheless, this attractive Brunello should drink nicely for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
