Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red. The nose is fresh, fruity, cherry and red fruit, with a tannic note in the finish. The palate is dry, supple, quite tannic, well-balanced, medium body, with good persistence. Pairs well with pasta and rice dishes, pies, vegetable dishes, red and white meat dishes.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens nicely in the glass, drawing upon more intensity and depth as it does. It shows firm lines and a fleshed-out mouthfeel that encourages plenty of layering and textural richness. That velvety quality is the enduring signature of this estate, one that has achieved consistent results over the years. The only outlier to this pretty portrait is a 15% alcohol content that, although well absorbed by the wine’s texture, does risk becoming a distraction.

This is creamy and open with tasty notes of sour cherries, plum stones, roasted nuts, mocha and sandalwood. Full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins providing a silky frame. Juicy finish.

The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is noted by candied strawberry, fresh roses, and fennel. Fresh with bright red cherry and dried tea leaf, it offers a crisp structure, with lift and fine present tannin’s. If you enjoy more tension, the 2018 is perfect for early drinking 2021-2026.
