GIOVANNI NERI TASTING NOTES
It shows a bright ruby red colour. The nose displays nuances of cherry, white flowers; red orange notes appear with a bit of aeration. The palate has a perfect balance, it is creamy and juicy and reveals marked hints of red berries. The finish is savoury with a great purity. We already foresee the excellence of the vintage 2019 but this Brunello will be amazing after a few years in the bottle.
