🏅 Ratings:
95/100 James Suckling: "A vibrant, polished Brunello with ripe cherry, cedar, and a touch of wild fennel. Drink 2024–2035."
93/100 Wine Advocate: "Fresh and approachable now, yet built to age. Hints of violet and crushed stone."
Tasting Notes:
"The warm 2018 vintage delivers a supple yet structured Brunello. Juicy red plum and raspberry notes are woven with Tuscan herbs, tobacco, and a whisper of vanilla from 30 months in large oak casks. Silky tannins and bright acidity create a harmonious finish."
