Terralsole Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017

A bold, concentrated wine from a hot vintage (four stars), ideal for those seeking power and intensity. The 2017 Annata delivers robust flavors of blackberry, ripe plum, and tobacco, supported by firm tannins. The hot summer reduced yields but concentrated the wine’s structure and depth. Decanting reveals more layers, making it an excellent wine for those who appreciate bold, full-bodied styles. It pairs perfectly with grilled steaks or rack of lamb, matching its intense character. The wine benefits from some aging, with potential to evolve further over the next 8-12 years. While it may not have the finesse of cooler vintages, it compensates with power and richness. This is a perfect choice for hearty meals and winter gatherings. Lovers of robust Brunello will enjoy its bold expression. It offers immediate satisfaction with the promise of more to come.Dried-cherry and plum aromas with dried orange peel.

Full-bodied and layered with lots of dense, layered tannins and a juicy finish. Needs some time to soften. 92 Points – JAMES SUCKLING
