Poggio Nardone's 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is layered with oak spice and campfire ash, and that's the first thing you notice about this medium to full-bodied Sangiovese. There is a second wave of black cherry and baked plum, but the wine's aromatic presentation is rather binary and simplistic at the end of the day. It revolves mostly around those two pillars: oak spice and black fruit. To the palate, it shows soft tannins and accessibility. This Brunello ages in French oak botti for three years. Production is 10,000 bottles.
