Reviews

Wine Enthusiast 95

The nose is a first date in the '60s, drinking cherry cola and vanilla smoothies and trying not to spill on new leather car seats. The indulgent palate deepens into a more mature blend of orange and dark chocolate, with strident tannins and bustling acid creating a hot, peppery undertone.

James Suckling 92

This has a pretty nose of peaches, plum stones, sandalwood, orange zest and white truffles. Fresh, fine and elegant, with a medium body and tight-grained tannins. Delicious peach and hints of vanilla at the end. Approachable already. Drink or hold.

Vinous Media 91

A brooding mix of red plum, brown spice and crushed rocks is nicely offset by a flourish of violet florals as the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens in the glass. This washes across the palate with silky textures, as rose-tinged red fruits are enlivened by a core of vibrant acidity. The 2018 finishes potent and long, with nuances of tangerine contrasting tart wild berries, as hints of grippy tannin frame this Brunello nicely.

Technical Details

Description

This wine is put on the market the fifth year after the wine harvest. After a minimum of three and a half years spent in oak casks follows a period of at least 4 months refining in the bottles.This wine has a high alcohol content and should continue to mature with age.

Estate

Purchased by Mr. Mauro Pacini in 1983 and upgraded with the most advanced winemaking installations, Fattoria la Lecciaia is a wine estate that combines a young, dynamic approach to the wine business, while strictly adhering to the antique traditions of Brunello di Montalcino. Located in “località Vallafrico” and surrounded by the vineyards of some of the most iconic estates of the area, the estate is in the center of the original micro-terroir where the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino was first produced.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red, garnet tends with aging. Aromas are characteristic and intense. Dry, warm, slightly tannic, robust and harmonious. A wine with a high alcohol content and long aging, it is marketed in the fifth year after the harvest, after spending three and a half years in large oak barrels followed by at least 4 months of aging in bottle. At the table it goes very well with game and meat. Excellent with aged cheeses, alone as a meditation wine.
