Rich and bold aromas of chocolate, walnut, sage, spice box and dark cherries. Full-bodied with a ripe core of dark fruit, accompanied by fine-grained tannins. Lots of flavor. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2023.
A certified organic wine, the Donatella Cinelli Colombini 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (with 34,000 bottles made) leans toward a slightly more robust personality with lasting texture and flavor concentration. The vintage remains open-knit and largely accessible, thanks in part to its velvety mouthfeel and dried fruit nuances. You get lots of dried cherry and blackcurrant with grilled herb and crushed rose. There is a pleasant tannic firmness to give the wine more volume, and the acidity also plays a big role in underlining the wine's length.
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino dazzles with a perfumed bouquet that mixes candied cherries with crushed violets and spiced orange peels. It’s soft-textured and generous on the palate with potent red berry fruits that saturate, complemented by nuances of clove and tobacco. The 2018 leaves a gentle coating of tannins while finishing with impressive length and staying power for the vintage, leaving hints of licorice and plum to slowly taper off. This is a total pleasure to taste.
