Le Pianelle Bramaterra, Piedmont, Italy 2015 Case (6x750ml) Veneto IGT elegant wine of great balanceThe 2015 Bramaterra is dark, rich and enveloping, with more body than these wines tend to show, a result of a warm growing season. Today, the aromatics are a bit muted, but that should not be a huge issue in a few years' time. The 2015 is not quite as alluring it was from barrel last year, but I expect it will show that quality once again with a bit more time in bottle. It's a gorgeous wine in the making. 95 Pts Vinous
