Wine Spectator assigned 96 points to this Brunello Riserva with the following comment:
"Black as night, with aromas of blackberry, violet, flowers and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with loads of tannins, but ultra-refined. Very long and beautiful, with great texture. This is 1997 again. Best after 2010. 500 cases made."
Highly recommended. Pairs well with red meet, game, and aged cheese. Excellent as meditation wine. Serve at 20°C (68°F) in wide mouthed glass. |

| Comments: |
The grapes are first thinned twice then, during harvest, an average of three grapes out of five are chosen to make the Brunello wine according to the traditional method. After long maceration with the grape skin at the temperature of around 33ºC (91.4ºF), the wine ages for six months in small French oak barrels, then for 24 months in 17.5 hectoliters Slavonic oak barrels before bottling. Before release, the Brunello is further aged for over six months in the bottles.
The color is deep ruby red, the perfume is ethereal, with intense, complex bouquet. In the mouth it reveals strong body, good structure and balanced tannins. Pairs well with red meat, game, and aged cheese. Serve at 20°C (68°F) in wide glass. |

Wine Spectator assigned 90 points to this wine with the following comment:
"Named for the blue (Azzurro) eyes of Danilo's (the estate owner) first daughter. The wine is an excellent Baby Brunello. It comes from the same grapes, with less aging. Produced with pure Sangiovese Grosso (also known as Prugnolo Gentile, or Brunello, in the town of Montalcino, in Tuscany).
Balanced and fruity, with red currant, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Recommended"
Open one hour before serving at 18°-20°C (64.4°-68°F). |
