The Fanti family has been producing this wine for several years, supported by the world-famous oenologist Luca Felicini. Brunello Ventolaio is an "old style" Sangiovese, which expresses typicality, cleanliness, complexity and traditional structure, and this is the reason why it deserves the worldwide fame it enjoys.
The vintage is also extremely important, it is in fact established that 2015 was, from every point of view, a memorable year for viticulture.
On the palate the wine expresses itself as fresh, with good astringency, minerality and flavor, but also full-bodied and with a long persistence.
On the nose it reveals fruity notes of black cherry and plum, which mix with aromas of incense and toasted coffee. But also (clean) leather, hints of tobacco and spicy hints of black pepper, cinnamon and clove. Floral hints of dried violet are added alternating with balsamic notes of peppermint and hints of black truffle.
An excellent and extremely complex wine, but still young: a great label, which should be stored and forgotten in the cellar for at least ten years. An elegant glass, with a deep ruby red color tending towards black, to be enjoyed alone or in company.
A glass that certainly pairs perfectly with important dishes such as game, grilled ribs, fillet with green pepper, roast beef and large roast beef in the oven.
