The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is elegant and tight with dried cherry, earthy root, pressed violet and exotic spice. The wine's long mandatory aging period has added to its aromatic intensity and textural weight. You also recognize that special complexity that comes with Sangiovese when grown in this sunny appellation on the southern side of Tuscany. This is a solid wine with 36,237 bottles released. 2025-2040
The soft, ripe perfume of the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino reveals violets, herbes de Provence, black raspberry, and wet stone. Generous with its notes of ripe berries, candied cherry, sweet herbs, and tobacco, this full-bodied expression is long on the palate, with ripe though present tannins, and its sanguine and mineral edge drives the wine forward. It is a wonderful ripe and chiseled style to drink 2025-2040.
Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Finely spiced raspberry, but more savoury than fruity. Hints of cinnamon bark and cherry. Supple yet lively displaying great purity of fruit and super-fine sandy tannins clinging to the fruit. Tannic chew and freshness. 2023-2032
