Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Deep ruby color tending to garnet with floral notes of heather and strawberry tree in the beginning, followed by soft notes of sour cherry and black berries. Concentrated and savory palate, balanced, well structured but fine-grained tannins and good final persistence.

95+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino does a great job of capturing the essence and the spirit of Sangiovese, a grape that delivers infinitely nuanced and complex results when in the right hands. This wine reveals wild cherry, blue violet, blood orange, rusty nail and sweet earth. There is a hint of scorched earth or baked clay that underlines the warmest months in this growing cycle. The results are balanced and fresh.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Laced with cherry and raspberry fruit, this red also offers eucalyptus, mineral, earth and almond flavors. Vibrant and balanced, with an intense, mouthwatering finish.

93 Points - James Suckling

Enticing nose of rosemary, wild cherries, lemon peel, chocolate strawberries and praline. It’s medium-bodied with a bright, fruit-forward palate, framed by fine-grained tannins.

93 Points - Decanter

Mint, lavender and fennel lead on the nose while sweet, succulent persimmon and crunchy pomegranate provide the backdrop on the palate, and the chalky tannins are rather sneaky in their grasp.
