Fossacolle Brunello Di Montalcino 2017/2018 750ml

Intense ruby red color. On the nose it shows alluring aromas of ripe red berries and delicate spices. On the palate the full body is gratifying and persistent, without standing minerality. Remarkable tannins, soft and creamy in texture, concentration and aging potential to this wine.

Ripe berries and cherries and lots of sweetness. Dried flowers, too. Full-bodied and chewy with intense tannins and lots of fruit. It’s a big Brunello that needs time to soften.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

On the nose, aromas of cherry, blood orange, iron and sage come together to create a warm, sanguine feeling. The palate leans earthy, with notes of brick and more herbs, but the incisive astringency of dried cherries and cranberries provides balance. Acid slices through a cloud of dusty, chewy tannins.

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive with brooding aromas of dried cherry, polished leather, shitake, and menthol. Pure, with a lovely concentration of fruit, it is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a gorgeous arch of fresh acidity balancing it the whole way through. Through the palate, it offers notes of pure raspberry liqueur, pressed roses, blood orange, and crushed saline earth. This is a beautiful wine, with a lot of complexity and elegance. Drink 2024-2034.
