Il Veltro Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Ginger, truffles, black treacle and smoke precede a relatively light- to medium-bodied wine. It is supple with flavours of vanilla and dried fruits combined with a lively acidity and lingering bitter cherry finish.
Il Veltro Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
2014 is decidedly more expressive and youthful than the 2013. Sweet red fruits are complemented by musky notes and a graphite edge. It has good mid-palate weight with mellow woody, vanilla and fruit flavours. The season was marked by a wet summer in June and July but finished with harvest under sunny September skies.
Il Veltro Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
2015 is considered by some to be one of the best vintages of Brunello of all time. An early harvest, due to warm dry conditions during June and July, produced small thick-skinned grapes. Il Veltro 2015 has some meaty aromas combined with spices and baked apples. It is youthful and was pretty closed at the time of tasting but well structured with some good mid-palate fruit indicating its potential for cellaring. Nuts, raisins, figs and tarry flavours emerge with some aeration.
