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. This is a large production of 80,000 bottles.
The ‘basis’ of Ciacci Piccolomini house, another excellence of this winery.Great tension to the nose, red currant, nuances of laurel and eucalyptus.Juiciness and tension to the palate, brackish tannins, fruity-balsamic returnon the closure. Tasted by Luca Gardini
