“The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from Elia Palazzesi is remarkably pretty, with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar giving way to dried strawberries, plums and roses. This caresses the palate with soft, supple textures and delicate ripe red fruits, all nicely balanced by a core of vibrant acidity. The 2018 tapers off with medium length and finesse, leaving a tinge of minerality and nuances of sour citrus to linger.”
