Rose, strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors are the main themes in this red, along with wild herb, mineral and cut hay accents. Racy and full of energy, with a long, saturated finish. Best from 2025 through 2042.

A bright and fresh 2018 with cherry and floral aromas and flavors. Medium body, refined tannins and a linear finish with bright acidity. Tangy and energetic. Tight at the end. A year or two will open it, but already a beauty.

Pure and noble, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is compelling in its expressive layers yet remains transparent, with aromas of fresh leather, red cherry, cedar, anise, and fresh pine all intertwining. It is medium-bodied but fills out with wonderful purity in its notes of blood orange, raspberry, saline minerals, and mouthwatering acidity. It is a gorgeous wine to hold another couple of years and best after 2025.

Montalcino is a picturesque hilltop town in southern Tuscany, world-famous for producing the mighty Brunello di Montalcino. Here, Sangiovese—called Sangiovese Grosso or “Brunello”—reaches dazzling heights, yielding wines bursting with dark cherry, blackberry, leather, and earthy spice, wrapped in powerful tannins and vibrant acidity. Brunello must age at least five years (six for Riserva), making it one of Italy’s most age-worthy and prestigious reds. There’s also Rosso di Montalcino, its younger sibling, offering similar flavors in a lighter, more approachable style. Whether Brunello or Rosso, wines from Montalcino capture the sun-soaked hills, warm breezes, and centuries of Tuscan winemaking passion—perfect with rich pasta, roasted meats, or simply savoring life’s best moments.
Sangiovese is a red wine grape predominantly associated with Italy, particularly in the Tuscany region. Known for its high acidity and versatile nature, Sangiovese produces wines with bright red fruit flavors, including cherry and strawberry, along with floral and herbal notes. Famous Tuscan wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are primarily made from Sangiovese. The grape's character can vary depending on the winemaking style and the specific terroir, ranging from lighter, more approachable styles to complex, age-worthy wines with robust tannins and a distinct sense of place. Sangiovese wines are often praised for their food-friendly acidity and ability to express the unique characteristics of the regions where they are grown.
