Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino 2018

The 2018 Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino is characterized by its elegance and aromatic precision, typical of a cooler and more balanced growing season. It presents a bright ruby red colour with light garnet hues. The bouquet is refined and ethereal, opening with notes of red currant, wild strawberry, and fresh hibiscus, followed by more complex layers of flint, tobacco, and dried rose petals. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a graceful structure; the tannins are fine-grained and silky, supported by a distinct mineral streak and vibrant acidity. This vintage prioritizes finesse over raw power, resulting in a harmonious and persistent finish with lingering savory and floral nuances.

90 Points - James suckling

Ripe blueberries, plums, chocolate orange, licorice and cherry blossom on the nose. Some cinnamon spice. Flavorful and fragrant if lacking a little depth, with a medium to full body and tight tannins. Drink from 2023.
