The 2018 Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino is a classic Tuscan Sangiovese showing sour cherry, red plum and blackberry with dried flowers, tobacco, leather and earthy spice. Bottle age adds savoury complexity while retaining the wine’s characteristic freshness.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with bright acidity, firm yet refined tannins and layers of red fruit, dried herbs and savoury spice. The finish is long, dry and persistent, with a developed mineral character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Brunello drinkers seeking a mature Tuscan red with structure and savoury complexity. Enjoy now or cellar through 2032. Pair with wild boar pappardelle, slow-braised beef, rosemary lamb shoulder or porcini risotto.
