Noted wine critic James Suckling writes of DOCG Brunello di Montalcino Tassi:

“Lots of dried cherry, sliced orange and ash aromas follow through to a medium to full body, with soft tannins and a jammy, light tomato leaf and meat character. Hints of smoky wood too. Opulent and flamboyant. Drink or hold.” (12/2014)

From the Tassi winery, its DOCG Brunello di Montalcino Tassi is described as:

Intense red ruby with garnet red nuances.

Deep to the smell with faint hints of ripe fruit, especially plum and cherry as well as some elegant and very fine spices. Very pleasant and refined to the taste.

It blends perfectly with the traditional Tuscan dishes, especially with game and seasoned cheese.
