Woodland berry, forest floor, dark spice and new leather aromas lead the nose. The bright linear palate offers wild cherry, strawberry and star anise set against youthfully austere but refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink after 2023.

Casanuova delle Cerbaie's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino has a delicate veil of smoke or campfire ash that lifts first from the bouquet. The wine offers dried cherry fruit and red currant with polished mineral definition and grilled herbs in a supporting role. This is a mid-weight effort with an elegant and fine approach on the palate.

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino lifts up with a classic display of wild strawberries and cherries complemented by cedar shavings and textbook Tuscan dust. This initially soothes with its silky textures and ripe red fruits, but tension quickly builds as brisk acids mingle with saturating mineral tones and grippy tannins toward the close. Savory spices, inner rose and violets linger through the long, structured finale. Give the 2013 another two to three years to soften a bit more.
