2015 was a stunning year in Tuscany and this Brunello di Montalcino from La Fiorita is pitch-perfect Sangiovese. It has firmness of structure but exhibits smooth balance and excellent fruit delineation. This will need a couple of years in the cellar but already has alluring notes of sour cherry, leather and spice.

Vinous
Deep red with ruby tinges. Violets, flint, herbs and a note reminiscent of carbonic maceration on the nose and in the mouth. Chunky and currently monolithic in the mouth, with saline and savory strokes on the clean, medium-long finish. A smooth, easygoing Brunello that offers early accessibility and appeal, if not mind-boggling complexity and size. This is the first vintage to be entirely aged in used 25-36hL used Slavonian and French oak barrels (in other words, no barriques) and the first to be entirely made by the new consultant winemaker, Maurizio Castelli. Though it’s pleasant to drink right now (like many 2015 Brunellos are) I suggest cellaring this to allow for further development and complexity.Ian d'Agata1st April 2020
