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.
