Note di degustazione
The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe with cherry leather, a bit of umami with dried shitake, and licorice candy. It is medium-framed but has elegant concentration, with wild strawberry, fresh herbs, and lavender. It is a very attractive wine to drink 2024-2036.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows an open quality that is a little oxidative in character. This is a very accessible wine with a strong 15% alcohol content. It is best consumed in the near term. Like many other Brunellos from this vintage, I would not put my money on long cellar aging times. There is concentrated fruit, with dried cherry, blackcurrant and fresh acidity. The bouquet is also redolent of old spice, tar and leather. Exactly 34,864 bottles and 444 magnums were made.
Mid to deep ruby. Great purity on the nose with a hint of mace and spice and a subtle oatmeal note. Supple and juicy. Perhaps doesn’t show the typical Capanna restrained power for which I think it is famous, but its elegance is striking. Long and focused. Do not expect muscle although this has long, clinging tannins. (WS)
