Armilla

Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Forest floor, new leather and wild berries mingle with ripe dark-skinned fruit aromas on this delicious red. It's both bold and elegant, delivering crushed raspberry, ripe Morello cherry, baking spice and tobacco set against a backbone of firm but refined tannins.

The Armilla 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a nicely robust wine but not in an inadvertently excessive manner. In fact, it carries its fruit weight with grace and offers a clear portrayal of cherry, dried raspberry and crushed flowers. There is some crunch or tightness to the tannins, but otherwise this wine is polished and smooth sailing from a textural point of view.

Lovely sweet berry and cherry character with some cedar and dried flower undertones. Medium- to full-bodied. Chewy yet polished tannins and a juicy finish. Nicely crafted for this hot vintage.
