2018 Brunello di Montalcino

This classic Brunello shows a bright ruby red color, typical of a cooler vintage. The nose is herbal with Mediterranean notes of thyme and rosemary and a hint of balsamic that develops into aromas of red berries such as cherry and plum. There is a hint of pine resin and sweet notes of vanilla pods. The palate shows a balance of acidity and fruit with sweet, enveloping tannins that will mature with time. This wine is drinking beautifully now but will reward those willing to let it mature.

Recommendation: Serve at 16-18 degrees Celsius, goes well with grilled and short-roasted dark meat, antipasti and well-seasoned pasta dishes as well as aromatic cheeses.
