This 2011 Brunello Di Montalcino is an outstanding showing from Marco Lazzeretti. A textbook Brunello which opens with lovely aromas of blackberries and dried cherries followed by leather, tobacco, licorice and dried spices all coming together beautifully. This fantastic Brunello continues to impress with excellent structure and balance, while it expands beautifully across the palate as it heads into the long finish. The 2011 is already showing plenty of appeal and looks to be a Brunello which will be accessible early on. Marco Lazzeretti is producing some truly remarkable wines which should not be missed.
