Exceptional on its own, it also pairs exquisitely with hearty meals and mature cheeses. A standout addition to any discerning wine connoisseur’s collection.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red color. Complex nose with fruity aromas of red fruits, plums, balsamic hints and vanilla scents. The entry is firm but elegant, with sweet tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long with excellent persistence. It is the “grand vin” of Brolio.
