The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino offers softly contoured fruit with blackberry, plum, spice and sweet earth. This organic wine supports medium-rich fruit weight with finely textured density. Those elements, coupled with fresh acidity, suggest that this wine would benefit from a few more years of aging. Even three or four should suffice to soften the tannins yet maintain the pretty freshness of the fruit on hand. It aged in large oak casks for 38 months, and 30,000 bottles were released.

A supple red marked by cherry, plum, licorice, cut hay and hibiscus flavors. Shows lively acidity and firm tannins, but overall this is sleek and mouthwatering. Features fine balance and length. Best from 2024 through 2042. 2,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
