"Created by the blend of a careful selection of their 4 crus. Shows the best qualities of Sangiovese, with complex evolution of bouquet, succulent acidity and silky tannins. Combines finesse and body, structure and elegance." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is beautifully bright and stitched up with extreme focus and sharpness. Sangiovese has this gorgeous ability to show linearity and lift, but it remains elegant and tight at the same time. This wine accomplishes all of this, and that's saying a lot given the heat and drought of this vintage. The acidity is bright and the finish is long and smooth with citrusy end notes of blood orange followed by wild rose and lilac. Fruit comes from a 4.5-hectare site with sand and galestro soils. Production is exactly 15,014 bottles. Maria Laura Vacca Brunelli and her team harvested about one week early in 2017 to capture that varietal freshness." —Wine Advocate |
