The 2008 ‘Cerretalto’ is absolutely stunning, this gorgeous single vineyard Brunello already has much to offer. It delivers intoxicating aromas and flavors of fresh blackberries and dark cherries followed by floral, earthy minerals, mint and sweet pipe tobacco. This is impressive for its wonderful purity and beautiful velvety texture, which gains power and depth with each second it sits in the glass. It displays incredible balance and finesse all the way through the ultra-long, caressing finish. This is a phenomenal showing and only begins to reveal its true potential after several hours of air contact. You will have to look long and hard to find a better Brunello in this vintage.
