Lorenzo Melani Brunello Di Montalcino 2018

\n \n Tasting Notes: Deep and bright ruby red color. On the nose there are notes of berries, dried flowers and forest floor nuances with hints of balsamic. On the palate it is rich and decisive, enveloping with a slight tannic texture, harmony and long persistence. \n \nWinemaking: Red vinification with maceration of the skins for 20-25 days and frequent delicate pumping over. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 24° – 28°C. Maturation in Slovenian oak barrels for at least 2 years. Rests in the bottle for at least 4 months. \n \nFood Pairings: Mature cheeses, red meats, game. \n \nInternational Wine Report: “The 2018 Lorenzo Melani Brunello di Montalcino delivers inviting aromas of red berries and cherries mixed with licorice, juniper, orange zest and herbs all taking shape. This possesses a medium body with fine tannins backed by lovely acidity underlying the core of dried red berries, spices and orange zest flavors that linger through the finish.” \n \nWine Enthusiast: “A classic nose features the sweetness of figs and Luxardo cherries, plus the light bitterness of orange peel and fennel, with a hot tar undertone. On the palate, the figs and cherries persist against coffee and dark chocolate undertones, before a long, dusty, tannic finish.” \n \n
