Tasting Notes
It features an extrovert and joyful nature (neither one-dimensional nor lacking in nuances), with the unmistakable character of a Brunello di Montalcino from the southwestern sector. Very ripe fruit, sometimes candied, fine-cured spices, tobacco, roots, cocoa beans: Vigna Spuntali offers up an aromatic, almost luxuriant tone in the most classic vintages. This expressive identity is confirmed by the gentle creamy texture of the palate, linked to the dense structure, the generous alcoholic embrace and supple tannins. It is undoubtedly the most expansive of the Val di Suga crus, supported during long bottle maturation by rich fruity pulp and an abundant sapid skeleton texture.
