2018 Amore e Magia Brunello di Montalcino, Podere Le Ripi
Deep ruby with brick tints. On the nose are complex aromas ranging from the intense smell of cherry, strawberry and violet to the fresh balsamic note of herbs. The palate shows ripe fruit, a hint of baked earth and very fine, elegant tannins.

Vinous
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Amore e Magia possesses a rich and spicy mix of cloves, allspice and fresh mint before unleashing its core of wild strawberry fruit. This is a round and silky style with polished red berries, sweet spice and mineral tones that slowly add tension toward the close. Nothing is out of place here, as the 2018 finishes with gentle tannins, mixing sour cherry with lavender tones, while leaving the mouth watering for more. Only a short stay in the cellar will be necessary for this remarkably pretty rendition of Amore e Magia to show it’s best.
