Loghi Brunello di Montalcino 2017 (750ml)

Description

The Brunello di Montalcino comes from a special selection of fruit in the vineyard, for only the vines that have the lowest yield and the most densely concentrated grapes are brought to the cellar to make this wine (the other grapes of the vineyard are kept aside for the more feminine Rosso di Montalicino). The wine naturally ferments in stainless steel tanks before it ages for at least 24 months in large Slavonian oak botti.After a few years in bottle the wine is ready for the market, and is approachable now, but built to last for years to come. The grapes shoot forth from the glass as clearly the ‘chosen ones;’ red cherry, coriander, eucalyptus, eucalyptus wood, and high tones that are distinctly Italian. In the mouth, this traditional Brunello if dark and brooding, with wet earth, mushrooms, tree bark, and acidity and chewy tannins that beg for air or food or both. Built for the long haul, this wonderfully expressive and layered wine can be enjoyed now, as it is clearly and distinctly and fantastically, Brunello.
