From a winery run with the unmistakable ‘humanistic’ style of Stefano Cinelli Colombini, the heritage of the typology, a Brunello rich in sapidity. Pomegranate to the nose, with touches of laurel and rhubarb, density and tension to the mouthfeel, brackish-saline tannins, and great persistence.

Packaged with its dark blue label, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino displays a very specific character that I always recognize in this wine. The house style is a callout to local winemaking tradition in which there is a slightly wild side to the cherry fruit and forest floor aromas. The oak spice is smoothly integrated into the medium-weight texture, and there is earthy spice and root at the back. The wine closes with freshness, bitter plum and rusty metal.
