Note di degustazione
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is characterized by some of those same earthy notes of crushed limestone and baked clay that we saw so clearly in the other two entry-level red wines released by this estate. Wild cherry and dried raspberry cede to oregano, basil or balsam herb. However, overall the fruit intensity is faded. The tannins are on the dry side, and perhaps the heat of the vintage reveals itself there with greater clarity. This wine is best served in the near term. Production is 66,000 bottles.

Just mid ruby with orange tinges. A little herbal and chalky at first. Green pea. Soft cherry fruit palate with rustic tannins and with considerable length. (WS)
A smoky mix of pine, chalk dust, crushed violets, lavender and dried strawberries lifts up from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is savory yet silky on the palate, with a drenching wave of red and black berries that leaves salty minerals and fine-grained tannins in its wake. It tapers off with hulking structure, echoing purple-tinged florals and hints of sweet spice through the finale. The 2017 will require cellaring to soften and resolve. That said, I don’t think it will enjoy a long life thereafter.
