Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Roasted herbs, walnuts, olives, dried cherries and balsamic on the nose with a touch of leather and sage. It’s full-bodied with firm, finely-knit tannins. Creamy and so well integrated with depth and class. Try after 2024.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino turns out beautiful results if you choose to drink the wine now, or if you opt to age it a little longer. It offers immediate intensity and complexity with a prelude of red and purple berry fruits that follow to tarry spice, campfire ash, licorice and rusty nail. Those savoy tones are well measured against the wine's elegant, mid-weight finish. And the tannins are integrated seamlessly. The winemaking team has worked well in a challenging vintage. This is a large production of 80,000 bottles.

Bright ruby red with sparkling core. On the nose fine fruit of wild strawberries, blood oranges, rose hips, underpinned by a delicate floral fragrance and liquorice. On the palate radiant with hearty, creamy fruit core, spreads beautifully over the tongue, gives the highest drinking pleasure.
