Pian dell'Orino Vigneti del Versante Brunello di Montalcino 2018 - 1.5L

Pian dell'Orino Vigneti del Versante Brunello di Montalcino 2018 - 1.5L95+pts Vinous The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a fascinating interpretation of Vigneti di Versante. It takes the lifted, floral, exotic nature of the vintage and marries it beautifully to Pian dell'Orino's style of finesse and refinement. Mint leaf, crushed rocks, hints of camphor and dried strawberries are complicated by suggestions of ground ginger in the glass. This is elegant and refined, silky to the core, with tantalizing acidity and mineral
