the 2004 Barbaresco Asili

all wrapped in a precise

Taut and refreshingly bitter on entry

From 48-year-old vines

This is sufficiently reduced to blur the nuances of what appear to be ripe aromas

Magia, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2012 the 2004 Barbaresco AsiliThe La Magia 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (made with organic fruit) is a bold and powerful wine with a full bodied approach and a strong 15% alcohol. The wine is redolent of cherry liqueur, baked fruit and blackcurrant. Beyond that, it offers plenty of toast and oak spice with cinnamon, tar and licorice. The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through, and that's what ultimately gives this wine its freshness and brightness.
