La Quinta 2018

Description

This expression of Sangiovese comes from the fifth vineyard planted in Montalcino, hence its name – in Italian “La Quinta” means the fifth – is remarkably refined. This is the vineyards younger wine, which is matured for twelve months in 500- and 1,200-litre oak casks. Its label, different from Brunello’s small Sangiovese figure, shows a man living within the circle of the world of wine, since this wine’s denomination is open to any kind of combination and blend. This is a pretty 100% Sangiovese, with density and richness, offering cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors, as well as hazelnuts. Yet, it’s tight and so fine and focused. Very polished tannins run the length of the palate.
