Note di degustazione
The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is a more potent and amplified wine, with luxurious aromas of toasted cedar, dark mineral earth, menthol, and black cherry liqueur. It is full through the palate, with ripe mouth-coating fruit layering around fine ripe tannins and a long-lasting finish. Its ripe black fruit of berries and plum intertwines with incense and leather. This is a solid and wonderful wine to cellar for a few years. Drink 2026-2040.

The organic La Magia 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a subdued and elegant expression with a very genuine quality that is ultimately the wine's biggest asset. You taste the skin and the pulp of the Sangiovese grape in this wine that remains very true to the variety. Wild cherry, cassis and crushed limestone give the wine plenty of linearity and freshness. Elements of the bouquet remind you of a natural wine. Production is 38,000 bottles.
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is smoky in the glass, with a blend of crushed rocks and savory spice accentuating dried black cherries. It’s soft and round in feel, energized by juicy acidity that propels its mineral-tinged red fruits across the palate. A coating of fine tannins is left to reside, along with violet inner florals and sweet spice, through the long and dramatic finale. Finding a balance of potent fruit and structure is often one of the challenges of the 2018 vintage, yet La Magia pulled it off without a hitch.
Deep, lustrous ruby. Exotic spice on a compact sour-cherry nose. Subtle but very closed. Purity of fruit on the palate that is not open yet but with impressive depth. Lots of long, chewy tannins complement the whole. Can be approached but should be decanted. Better to give it another year. (WS)
