From Fattoria La Magia in Italy’s Montalcino, the Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from a 15-hectare single vineyard parcel of vines at least 40 years old on stony sand over clay subsoil at 400-450 meters elevation in the central-south-east side of Montalcino, where low-fertility terrain maximizes concentration.
Hand-harvested grapes undergo vinification in stainless steel tanks and large oak casks, followed by three years' aging mainly in 500-liter French oak tonneaux to balance power, structure, and superb elegance.
Tasting Notes A refined, elegant Brunello di Montalcino with ruby red color tending toward garnet, revealing typical red berry fruit on the nose and palate, mineral overtones, delicate spices, generous acidity, restrained tannins, and a long finish. The nose and mouth display red berry fruit with mineral nuances and subtle spices. On the palate, it offers balanced power and elegance with generous acidity and restrained tannin.
Awards and Accolades The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino earned 93 points from James Suckling for its fine balance and elegant expression.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater complexity over time.
