Give this wine some time in the glass and you will be rewarded by beautiful evolution and depth. It is a deep ruby with subtle orange reflexes. The nose is big, complex and very warm, showing dried fruit but also the typical herbs of a hot Mediterranean summer day: thyme, rosemary, lavender and minty aromas. Even the scent of sun-parched dry earth comes to mind. Then there is coffee and dark chocolate, and - surprisingly - white pepper. In the mouth firm tannins paired with juicy acidity give this wine a beautiful structure that embraces its warm flavours and powerful elegance. Definitely mouth filling while the memory of dark chocolate lingers towards the finish. The long finish makes me yearn for the next sip and the next. Of course Sangiovese typically is meant to be enjoyed with food, but with this one I seem to not need any, I could gladly go on savouring, discovering new layers with each sip.

More like an exotic herbal tea than wine, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino lifts from the glass with a menagerie of foreign spices, wild herbs and dried red fruits. This is elegant and finessed, with vibrant acidity enlivening its tart wild berry fruits, and pretty inner rose tones that evolve toward the close. Nuances of licorice and sour cherry linger on, as the 2018 finishes light on structure but big on character. This is so enjoyable already that it's hard to imagine waiting, but do make sure to cellar this for at least a year or two for the full effect.
