Cantina di Montalcino Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Cantina di Montalcino’s Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a classic, finely crafted expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most iconic appellations. Sourced from small growers across all sides of Montalcino, it offers a true panorama of the region’s character, combining elegance, depth and impressive value from the area’s only Brunello cooperative.

Tasting Notes
Pale garnet in the glass, this Brunello opens with inviting aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, layered with subtle vanilla, earthy notes and aromatic wood. On the palate it shows generous depth and bright fruit, supported by supple tannins and a beautifully balanced acidity that gives the wine its unmistakably Italian finesse. This is a wine with real ageing potential, expected to hold its best for around 20 years. As it develops, the fruit will soften and secondary notes of leather, tobacco and spice should emerge, adding further complexity.

Production
The Sangiovese fruit comes from a network of small growers whose vineyards are spread across all four sides of Montalcino, between 120 and 650 metres above sea level. The varied exposures and elevations help create a layered, consistent expression of the appellation, while all grapes are harvested carefully by hand. Fermentation lasts around 20 days, followed by 30 months of maturation in Slovenian oak casks, giving the wine structure without obscuring its varietal purity.

Food & Serving
Serve this Brunello at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for an hour or two, especially in its youth, to allow the aromatics and structure to fully unfold. It pairs beautifully with slow-cooked meats, roasted game, braised beef, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses, where its acidity and tannins will complement rich, savoury flavours.
