Voliero Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Voliero’s 2016 Brunello has wonderful shape, plush tannins with a cleansing dusty edge about them, harmony, and a level of sophistication that sees it playing nicely a little closer to Burgundian than the structured wines from Montalcino. Savoury and spiced over juice red fruits with a splash of blood orange, the acid keeps it fresh at just the right level. As it opens it relaxes, the edges fall away quickly and it looks incredibly comfortable in its own skin. A wonderful wine, and for mine punching well above it’s weight.
