La Fiorita Brunello Di Montepulciano '18

Run by the energetic Roberto Cipresso and his family, La Fiorita has rapidly become one of Montalcino's most talked-about small producers. Organically farmed, with a focus on elegance over power, the 2018 Brunello is a beautiful expression of the vintage's natural balance: cherry, dried herbs, violet, a mineral edge, and tannins that are firm but never harsh. A real discovery.
