This 2018 Brunello di Montalcino, made from 100% Sangiovese, is likely to showcase a vibrant and complex aromatic profile. On the nose, expect intense notes of sour cherry, dried cranberry, and plum, complemented by earthy undertones of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and leather, alongside hints of cedar and sweet spice from oak aging. The palate will be full-bodied with firm, yet refined tannins and a backbone of bright acidity, characteristic of Sangiovese from a potentially cooler vintage. Flavors will mirror the nose, with red and black fruits, savory umami notes, and a long, persistent finish suggesting further development with age.
