La Fiorita Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. Produced from a selection of Sangiovese grapes from La Fiorita`s Pian Bossolino vineyard, this riserva was fermented in Slavonian oak casks and aged for 36 months in wood, four months in steel and eight months in bottle before release. "This has a rich and aromatic nose of hazelnuts, poached plums, orange peel, spearmint and hot chocolate. Full-bodied, with broad and velvety tannins that spread across the palate. Rich and warm, but balanced." James Suckling, 2022
93 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.
92 Robert Parker
The La Fiorita 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has dried flowers and blackcurrant with rose potpourri and autumnal leaf. The wine feels almost fragile in consistency with fine, powdery tannins and a high 15% alcohol content. It ages in large oak casks for 36 months. This is a limited release of 2,800 bottles. - Monica Larner
