Deep ruby color tending to garnet with floral notes of heather and strawberry tree in the beginning, followed by soft notes of sour cherry and black berries. Concentrated and savory palate, balanced, well structured but fine-grained tannins and good final persistence.
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino does a great job of capturing the essence and the spirit of Sangiovese, a grape that delivers infinitely nuanced and complex results when in the right hands. This wine reveals wild cherry, blue violet, blood orange, rusty nail and sweet earth. There is a hint of scorched earth or baked clay that underlines the warmest months in this growing cycle. The results are balanced and fresh. I've mentioned alcohol content throughout this report, and although the 14% registered here is still quite high, is it below the average for its peers. This is a job very well done.
