The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a pleasure to take in aromatically and
visually. Boasting a bright ruby color, significantly lighter than the average
Brunello these days, it lifts from the glass with a delicate yet deeply
complex bouquet, as fresh mint and citrus brilliantly accentuate dried
black cherries and strawberries. This smooths over the palate, silky yet
medium-bodied, guided by crisp acidity that adds a crunchy feel to the
wild berry fruits within. The 2018 finishes classically structured and
refined, transcending the light-hearted nature of the vintage, as it tapers
off perfumed and with incredible length. This is such a beautiful vintage
for Salvioni, and as I’ve watched it mature over the past three years, it
seems to only gain in depth and complexity over time.
