Unlike the 2017, the 2018 has a more saturated colour, brighter and fuller, more expressive fruit - pure and delineating of a "cooler" vintage. Winemaking was gentle and grapes skins were comprised. We kept fermentation at low temperatures and fortunately finished fermentations in a relatively short time, allowing us to take the wine off the skins early.

Opening to a medium-dark garnet color, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino offers direct and thick lines with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, leather and tilled earth. The wine is structured and firm at the back thanks to the quality of the tannins, and it offers generous fruit texture and concentration. This is a textbook Brunello from a warm vintage. Production is 15,000 bottles.
