The 2008 Fanti Brunello di Montalcino is ripe and forward, offering inviting aromas and flavors of freshly crushed sweet dark cherries and strawberries followed by intense spices, cedar and leather notes. This has a beautiful soft, silky texture that is structured and balanced, ending in a long finish laced with spices and cherries. This is a Brunello that is approachable early, but it should also be a nice candidate for some short-term cellaring. The Sangiovese was aged in 225-300 litre French oak barriques and partly in medium capacity casks a minimum of 30 months followed by an additional 12 months in bottle before it's release.
