2018 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy Region: Tuscany - Brunello di Montalcino Vintage: 2018 Cépage: Sangiovese (100%) Size: 750 ml Rating(s): 94 (RP); 95 (JS) " The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino turns out beautiful results if you choose to drink the wine now, or if you opt to age it a little longer. It offers immediate intensity and complexity with a prelude of red and purple berry fruits that follow to tarry spice, campfire ash, licorice and rusty nail. Those savoy tones are well measured against the wine's elegant, mid-weight finish. And the tannins are integrated seamlessly. The winemaking team has worked well in a challenging vintage."
