Brunello di Montalcino
From 10+ year old vines around 300m, this Brunello blends fruit from of a blend of two different soils: clays rich in Magnesium, Iron, and Manganese from the Cru Canalicchio; and galestro soils with a very high mineral component, characteristic of the Cru Montosoli. It was fermented in stainless, with 3 weeks on skins, prior to 36 months in Slavonian oak casks of 2500 and 5000L.
“The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is elegant and tight with dried cherry, earthy root, pressed violet and exotic spice. The wine's long mandatory aging period has added to its aromatic intensity and textural weight. You also recognize that special complexity that comes with Sangiovese when grown in this sunny appellation on the southern side of Tuscany. This is a solid wine with 36,237 bottles released.” 94 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
