This 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Fornace, from an excellent vintage, offers intense aromas of ripe red cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with complex notes of dried herbs, tobacco, leather, and forest floor. Floral hints of violet and a touch of balsamic add to its depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with firm yet refined tannins and bright, balancing acidity. Flavors echo the nose, showing concentrated red and black fruit, earthy undertones, savory spice, and a persistent mineral streak. The finish is exceptionally long, elegant, and complex, leaving a lasting impression of fruit, earth, and savory characteristics.
