Reviewed November 2021Aromas of dried flowers, black cherries and dried strawberries follow through to a medium to full body with very fine tannins that coat the mouth. From organically grown grapes. Fresh, bright and very drinkable now, but will be even better in 2023.

The remarkably pretty 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Moz Art Wine wafts up with a mix of lavender, violets and rose before giving way to red currants and hints of cedar. This silky, polished effort impresses further with cool-toned wild berry fruits contrasted by saline-minerals that create a more savory impression toward the finale. It finishes fresh with a subtle coating of tannins, as hints of blueberry skins, cinnamon and salted licorice fade. A lovely rendition of the 2017 vintage. (EG)

The 2017 Il Paradiso di Frassina "Moz Art Wine" is as unique wine for sure. Representing the crossroads of tradition, innovation and artistry, this winery is known for playing Mozart in the vineyards. It combines music with an important part of viticulture. It is believed that it improves the health of the vine and the quality of the grapes. Whether science is certain or not the result is a Brunello who sings with harmony and refinement.
The 2017 vintage has aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries and dried cranberries. Complemented with tobacco, leather and Mediterranean herbs, on the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied. With fine tannins and bright acidity that balance out the ripe fruit. The taste is perfect... Earthy undertones and spice notes add another layer of sophistication, while concluding with a long and luxurious finish.
Il Paradiso di Frassina's commitment to organic practices and minimal winemaking intervention ensures that Brunello is a true expression of the terroir. This wine is aged in large oak barrels. It retains its freshness and structure. At the same time, it helps Sangiovese Grosso stand out.
For Brunello lovers and those who appreciate wines with a truly unique philosophy, the 2017 "Moz Art Wine" is an outstanding wine. It is a testament to the creativity and care that went into creating one of Italy's most unique wines.

The 2017 Il Paradiso draws me in from the start from its classic Brunello aromatics. There is a mixture of dried red berries, bundled poultry herbs, blood orange zest, and iron-rich dusty soil. The mouthfeel is mildly grippy, savory, and fresh. There is a good amount of round acidity and weighty texture. The profile of this wine leans towards what you would need for long-term aging. But you can buy and hold for this upcoming Thanksgiving dinner just be sure to decant for 2-3 hours before the start of the main course.
