This Brunello has ripe, silky-smooth tannins and a potent, full body, and it therefore thrives with rich, fatty proteins, where fat and tannin balance each other. Robust preparations such as slow braising and grilling meet the wine's intensity, while the long, spiced finish of tobacco and oriental spices harmonizes well with umami-rich and spicy dishes. Feel free to choose powerful, mature cheeses that match the wine's weight, rather than the very lightest dishes, which it easily overpowers.

Brunello do Montalcino 2018 - 'Best in show', 97 point
Warm, welcoming scents around a core of ripe plum. The palate is deep, with the plum transmuting into the mellower but less precise fruits of maturity; tannins prominent but well- rounded, and the acidity more buoyant than you might expect from the aromas. Excellent Brunello.
