The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Manapetra is soft, open and inviting. Dark red cherries, tobacco, spices, mint and licorice are woven together nicely in this supple approachable Brunello. This is one of the more accessible 2006 Riservas, and is showing beautifully right now. The Manapetra is distinguished from the straight Riserva by the darker profile of its fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
