Corte Alla Flora, Brunello di Montalcino 2018
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby to garnet with clear edges.
Nose: Concentrated aromas of black cherry, dried cranberry, and ripe plum layered with cedar, licorice, sweet tobacco, and a hint of leather. Subtle floral lift of violet and a trace of balsamic herb.
Palate: Full-bodied and structured, showing plush dark-fruit core balanced by firm, refined tannins and bright acidity. Flavors echo black cherry and plum with baking spice, earthy sous-bois, and a persistent mineral streak. Long, savory finish with tobacco and leather nuances.
Winemaking & Vineyard
Grape: 100% Sangiovese (Brunello clone).
Region: Montalcino, Tuscany.
Vintage: 2018 — a classically balanced year that produced wines with ripe fruit, tension, and aging potential.
Aging: Extended oak maturation (large Slavonian casks and select French barriques), followed by bottle aging before release to harmonize tannins and aromatics.
Food Pairing
Pairs exceptionally well with braised beef, roasted lamb, game birds, aged Pecorino Toscano, and mushroom risotto.
Also excellent with charcuterie selections featuring soppressata, prosciutto, and aged hard cheeses.
