Winemaker Francesco Mulinari makes stunning wines year in year out, and his L’Aietta 2021 Brunello entices with its beautiful fragrance of violet, ripe dark-skinned berry, new leather, eucalyptus and fine tobacco blend. Brimming with finesse, the palate offers ripe wild cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and spiced orange peel. Taut, fine-grained tannins provide support while bright acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. (KO)
