Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
A monumental and harmonious Brunello. The olfactory profile alternates sweet red fruits with balsamic and spicy notes of great complexity.

A masterful interpretation of a historic vintage.

Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino from Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona is a triumph of balance and radiance. While the 2018 vintage emphasized subtlety, the 2019 release unleashes the full controlled power of Montalcino's southeast quadrant. On the nose, it's an explosion of ripe red fruit: cherry, Morello cherry, and plum intermingle with balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub, sweet spices, tobacco, and a characteristic iron-like mineral trace. On the palate, it is sumptuous; the entry is broad and enveloping, supported by a majestic yet velvety tannic structure. The typical freshness of the 2019 vintage provides a perfect counterpoint to the fruity mass, leading to an exceptionally long, warm, and savory finish that promises a magnificent evolution.
