Brunello Bosco, Stella di Campalto 2018

The word serenity comes to mind when reflecting on the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Bosco. This takes the freshness and finesse of the vintage and matches it perfectly to the Campalto house style. A cascade of exotic flowers mixes with earth tones, hints of spice and dried strawberries. It hovers across the palate, seemingly weightless yet truly impactful, as vividly red berry fruits are propelled by tantalizing acidity. A suggestion of lavender embellishes the close. The slightest tug of sweet tannins comes together with a gentle mineral tinge as the 2018 finishes long and perfumed. This understated beauty holds its power in reserve. I love it. Drink between 2025-2035.
