The Agostina Pieri 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals oak toast and spice with lots of ripe fruit and black plum that comes from the warmer side of the appellation. You feel the heat of the vintage that translates here to soft fruit and an accessible approach. There is Sangiovese freshness, but this vintage puts more emphasis on textural heft and fruit density. This estate farms 12 hectares of Brunello vines, and this year's production is 23,000 bottles.
