Description

This 21,470-bottle release is a delight.

Alessandro Mori's Il Marroneto 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a spicy bouquet with hints of cumin and white pepper that fold seamlessly into bright cherry, blueberry and cassis. The trick to this wine is balance, as no one side pulls stronger than the other. More importantly, this Brunello still has life and vibrant energy despite 39 months of ageing in oak casks. Precisely because this bottle tastes so good now, I see little reason to wait further.
