Brunello 2017 – M to Z

Tuesday 1 March 2022
Twilight at La Gerla

The second half of Walter's tasting notes on a vintage that belies its reputation. See Brunello 2017 – A to L and his overview in Brunello 2017 – a hot vintage that tastes cool. Above, twilight at La Gerla.

Tasting notes on 88 Brunello 2017s are followed by those on a few late-release 2016s. They are ordered alphabetically by producer (sur)name but you can change this.
