Intense, spicy and flavorful with aromas of currants, sage, dried orange, spearmint and bark. It’s full-bodied with sleek and well-integrated tannins. Subtle herbal touch lending freshness. Lots of character. Drink from 2024.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a bright and pretty entry to the palate with red and purple fruits. It shows varietal acidity with a medium-bodied texture. The mouthfeel is not especially long, but it is fresh and the tannins are polished. Aging goes through a combination of steel, cement and oak.

This delicate red is saturated with raspberry, cherry, licorice, rose hip and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. Firm and complex, with fine balance, plump tannins and a lingering aftertaste.

While this sees a small percentage of fruit from the estate’s La Lucère vineyard, it is crafted primarily from a lower lying, north- to northeast-facing parcel directly surrounding the winery. A profusion of sweet herbs – from sage to lavender - gives way to forest brush and flint. The palate articulates less that the nose at the moment, though a core of concentrated red cherry lies in wait. The tannins are vigorous and somewhat wood-driven, but they smooth out on the finish. The 2018 should come together nicely after another year in bottle.
