Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Definitely a full bodied style but in 2018 quite accessible at this stage even with only an hour decant. Lots of fruit, integrated earth and tannins, medium acid threading it all together. Nice pairing with kurobota pork chops. — a month ago

Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is quite mineral in the glass. Ashen stones, savory grilled herbs and smoked meats give way to woodland berries. This is dark and radiant, showing the classic racy fruit of the year, yet unbelievably soft and plaint, taking on a saline edginess toward the close. It finishes youthfully coy with dusty tannins, leaving just a touch of lingering licorice. The Montosoli is understated today, yet with a feminine beauty and inner sweetness that I find attractive.

Casanova di Neri

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

2015. 9.1+. Just too young. Same problem as with Altesino: takes forever to open up, very salty and tart, then thins out and fades. Very good producer. Going to stop opening the better 2015 Brunellos and will revisit. $50 on Delectable. — 4 years ago
