🏰 The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino vintage is highly regarded, offering more concentration than average and showcasing a rich, plump character. Voliero's expression of this vintage benefits from high-altitude vineyards, contributing to wines that are nervier and edgier, with pronounced sour cherry notes and remarkable freshness. This wine introduces itself with a mentholated freshness, followed by a vibrant wave of crushed cherries, mint leaf, clove, and dusty roses on the bouquet. The palate is silky and enveloping, yet remarkably lifted and full of energy, revealing crunchy red berry fruits. It concludes with a saline and spicy character, where edgy tannins mingle with a refreshing bump of acidity and tart cranberry notes. Expect solid, chalky tannins, alongside notes of red plum, cherry, kirsch, herbs, and mineral. Some tasters have noted dark red berries, herbal notes, and cedar, with a fruit-forward profile, solid acidity, and firm tannins. 【One of the most exciting young renditions of Voliero, captivating with its precision and spry personality.】 🥂 This is a very appealing wine that, while enjoyable now, will significantly improve with further aging, with an anticipated drinking window from 2025-2037. It's an excellent choice for a special occasion dinner, a focused tasting of promising young Brunellos, or for cellaring to appreciate its future evolution. 🍴 Brunello di Montalcino pairs exquisitely with rich Italian cuisine. Consider robust dishes such as Florentine steak, wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino Toscano cheese, or truffle-infused pasta.
