Staff Comments - A stunning Brunello from Italy! This is 100% Sangiovese and just elegant. A brick red color, this over delivered! Hints of cedar and olives on the nose. Medium bodied and refined; showing notes of black plums, blueberries, cassis, cocoa nibs, and walnuts. Serve this with a Florentine steak, lasagna al forno, or a rustic ciabatta bread with good olive oil. LIMITED

What a beautiful nose this suggests of dried tea leaves, earth, tobacco, cedar, five spice, dried cherries, orange zest and Christmas spices. The tannins have a brambly quality to them, but they slip effortlessly into place, around finely indented creases of red-plum and red-cherry flavors. Long and composed, this is a silky, balanced, delightful offering. What a wine from the only cooperative in Montalcino!

The nose is savory and herbaceous, with notes of leather, soil and light woodiness, as well as a hint of cherry tomatoes and their leaves. The sweeter palate features strawberries, cherries and raspberries, plus darker fruit lingering in the background, before a peppery, dark chocolate finish.
Vinous

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino lifts up with an aromatic bouquet of crushed cherries giving way to a cedar spice box full of dried flowers and cloves. This is fruit-centric, soft textured, a bit one-dimensional, yet energetic and spry. It finishes with hints of licorice and red plum, leaving only a subtle coating of tannin to linger.
