The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Manapetra by Fattoria La Lecciaia exhibits a firm and slightly stern personality with dried fruit nuances followed by tar, smoke, worn leather and campfire ash. The wine shows a deep garnet color, but it also has bright luminosity locked within. From a hot vintage, the 2012 Riservas sometimes deliver jammy fruit tones, or alternatively they deliver dried berry aromas. This wine does the latter.
