Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2018 Rueda and vanilla beanThe 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is fragrant with incense, rose petals, red raspberry, and blood orange. Elegant, with fine tannins, it is approachable already in its youthful stage. Its refreshing acidity and wonderful dusty earth minerality make it a very pleasing wine to drinking now or over the next 10 years. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
