Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino 2017 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Il Palazzone's 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a Sangiovese from one of Tuscany's most prestigious subregions. This vintage shows the riper fruit profile and concentration that 2017 delivered to the region, yet the wine maintains a restrained hand in its aromas, brambly fruit and forest floor notes sit alongside whispers of spice and burnt ember, all drawn together by a distinctive savory undertone that recalls mesquite and aged wood.
On the palate, the wine balances sweet and savory instincts with ease. Sour cherry and plum meet confectionary spices and rose florals, while a soft, lifted texture carries ripe, mineral-edged berries beneath hints of lavender and violet. The finish tightens with fine-grained tannins and a puckering acidity that frames lingering notes of hard red candy. This is a wine built to age, though it drinks with composure now.

The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino has some brambly fruit and forest floor with sweet tones of spice and spent ember. Overall, the aromas are subdued and not overdone, despite the riper fruit profile and concentration that was obtained in this vintage. Il Palazzone's wines all seem to have a savory comment that reminds me of mesquite or mahogany. Exactly 9,521 bottles are hitting the market now.
