Nose
This wine has very flowery aromas with hints of cassis on the nose.
Palate
A soft, velvety palate whose freshness owes much to the excellent acidity; elegant notes of caramel are discernible. The finish is pleasant and lingering.
Growing Conditions
2007 will go down in records as the hottest year in the last two centuries: both winter and spring registered temperatures much higher than the average.
At Brolio, they failed to fall below zero during the winter, and rainfall was also very limited.
A cooler than average summer allayed the risk of heat stress, allowing the grapes to ripen to perfection and attain a perfect level of maturation.
