The Terralsole 2018 Riserva Brunello is elegant and nuanced, and features delicate plum, cherry, and herb aromas, bright acidity, and a smooth finish, ideal for early enjoyment or moderate aging. The cooler growing season results in a wine with bright acidity and elegant tannins. While not as bold as other vintages, it charms with its finesse and smooth finish. This vintage is perfect for early drinking but can develop more complexity with moderate aging. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck or mushroom risotto, enhancing the wine’s earthy undertones. Its softness makes it an excellent match for grilled vegetables and soft cheeses. Best enjoyed within the next 10-12 years, the 2018 Riserva offers an elegant expression of Sangiovese. It’s a wine for those seeking a lighter, more nuanced Brunello. Perfect for intimate dinners or casual gatherings with friends.
