Description
 
Luca Nannetti and his wife Elena own Azienda Agricola Verbena which sits just over halfway up the south side of the hill of Montalcino in the south of Tuscany. The Verbena farmsteads lands extend to a total of 23 hectares along the Via Traversa dei Monti at about 400m above sea level and comprise a mixture of vineyards, olive groves and woodland offering complete biodiversity. From their 10 hectares of vineyards Luca and Elena make about 50,000 bottles of wine each year.




The 2010 is a fantastic, full-bodied Brunello with ripe fruit, plum spice and blackberry characteristics. A silky tannin structure with a long, persistent finish. This big wine should only be paired with grilled meats or matured cheeses. Gorgeous aromas of dark fruits such as plums and raspberries. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a chocolate, vanilla and fruit aftertaste. Turns to roasted meat and berries. Intense and very long finish. Drink or hold. The 2010 vintage is far better than the 2009. Here is a gorgeous wine with a deep, inky color and super extraction that is elegant but powerful at the same time. This is a balanced wine, but it is also an intense wine, with loads of ripe fruit, spice and tobacco. It feels smooth and rich, with a finely crafted texture that is velvety and supple. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a big, full-bodied wine bursting with fruit and sheer energy. Plums, black cherries, licorice, French oak, smoke and tar emerge from this nicely articulated Brunello. Medium red. Slightly roasted, high-toned aromas of red berry liqueur, black cherry, licorice, smoke and leather. Plump, sweet and already quite expressive, with a very ripe cherry flavor complicated by coffee and mocha notes and a suggestion of marzipan. Finishes with sweet tannins. In a plush style, for drinking over the next ten years.

"A dense and tight wine with lots of black olive, blueberry and citrus character. Full body, bright acidity and a chocolate, berry and spice character. Long and flavorful finish. Drink now or later. A beautiful wine with balance." James Suckling, 94 points
