Brunello Di Montalcino, Patrizia Cencioni 2017
This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life force of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion. Their 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows the vintage's signature richness whilst maintaining the elegant tension that makes Sangiovese sing on these Tuscan hills. The wine opens with crushed stone minerality and dusty florals before revealing its core of sour cherries and saline-tinged red fruit. There's a pliant, plush texture that speaks to careful winemaking, structured enough for the cellar but with an energy that keeps you coming back to the glass.
Patrizia Cencioni, Brunello Di Montalcino 2018
Patrizia Cencioni crafts this Brunello from her small estate in Montalcino, where traditional winemaking meets careful attention to detail. This 2018 shows the classic Sangiovese character we love in Brunello: that interplay between dark cherry fruit and the earthy, mineral backbone that comes from the region's galestro and alberese soils. Eight years on, this wine has found its stride. The tannins have softened without losing their structure, and the secondary complexity is beginning to emerge alongside the primary fruit.
