This 2018 Ridolfi ‘R’ Brunello di Montalcino opens with bright aromas of sour cherry, violet, and red roses, layered with subtle notes of leather, nutmeg, and balsamic spice.
The palate is elegant and rich, offering succulent wild cherry and raspberry framed by smooth, savory tannins and fresh acidity that keeps the wine lively. While it shares the classic ruggedness and balance of top Northwestern Montalcino Sangiovese, it presents a more supple, approachable texture than some austere peers. The finish is long and lingering, capped with a hint of licorice and bitter cocoa.
Serve this wine with red meat cooked rare, game, or hard-aged sheep and cow’s milk cheeses to highlight its savory depth.
