Holiday spice, lavender, crushed plums and worn leather can all be found as the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneto Manachiara comes to life in the glass. This is pure elegance on the palate, silky-smooth and soothing with ripe red and hints of blue fruit, as fine-grained tannins slowly creep in toward the close. It leaves a youthfully tart concentration while finishing structured and classically dry, as pretty inner florals and hints of licorice slowly fade.
