Violet, game and menthol add complexity, while licorice notes thread through the finish. The tannins are firm and youthful, demanding cellaring through 2019-2020. Impressive depth lurks beneath the austere exterior.

Small Montalcino estate run by Caroline Pobitzer and Jan Hendrick Erbach, farming biodynamically on the southwestern slope. Two single-vineyard Brunellos, Vigneti del Versante and Bassolino di Sopra, define the range.
