Only 665 cases were made of this superb Brunello that spent 36 months in very large oak casks; a more traditional approach to barrel aging which gives the wine roundness, fullness, and softness with the characteristic spicy bark notes and high toned floral/fruity aromatics. "Le Macioche’s vineyards are among the highest elevation in Montalcino. These traditionally-made wines are defined by their well-articulated aromatics and firm tannins." -- The Wine Advocate
