Brunello di Montalcino That Punches Well Above Its Price
Fattoi is a small, family-run estate in Montalcino producing traditional Brunello from 100% Sangiovese Grosso — wines of genuine depth, structure, and longevity. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino comes from an outstanding vintage in Tuscany, delivering the classic Montalcino profile: savory, complex, and built to age, yet already showing beautifully with ripe, supple tannins and a long, layered finish.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018
- Wine Enthusiast — 94 pts: "The nose is primarily savory, with aromas of coffee, herbs and soil, but also has the fresh gleam of wild cherries. On the palate, an emergent orange-peel element bolsters the cherry note, at least until a bitter finish of dark chocolate and espresso. Spice blazes behind dense, grippy tannins."
67Wine Staff Pick
Bart Hopkins, 67Wine.com: "A rich, savory Brunello di Montalcino that is already drinking perfectly. Powerful yet elegant with maraschino cherry and ripe black fruit flavors accented with roasted herbs, wild rose petals, leather, sandalwood and earthy spice. The tannins are ripe and supple, with good depth of flavor and a robust finish."
