Fattoria 'La Fiorita' Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018 - 750ml

95pts Wine Spectator

Aromatic and expressive, this red features plum, cherry, leather and iron flavors, with accents of rose and woodsy underbrush. This straddles the line between power and elegance, with fine harmony and a saline aftertaste, showing fine potential.

93pts Vinous

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens with a darkly floral display, as a dusting of exotic spice and dried orange give way to cedar shavings and wild strawberries. It begins with a pretty inner sweetness, casting silken textures across a stream of vibrant acidity as red and blue fruits swirl throughout. The 2018 tapers off with tension as the finish comes together with savory herbs and the mouth is left watering for more, even as grippy tannins pinch at the cheeks. The La Fiorita has always been one of elegance, which this has, but what truly shines is its nervy personality.
