Citrus memories of oranges, limes and lemons. In the background, Mediterranean herbs such as burnt sage, rosemary and marjoram. On the palate, medium to full body, soft tannins and a finish of marked acidity. Better from 2023.

Paesaggio Inatteso Brunello di Montalcino Sheet vintage 2018 BIO
Controlled designation of origin
Description
Sheet vintage 2018 BIO
CLIIMATE : The 2018 vintage in Camigliano was characterized by a spring with precipitations higher than normal (which helped to rebalance the water reserves of the land, after last year's drought). This condition, in consideration of the biological regime, has engaged us considerably both from mechanical operations (weed containment on the ground) and vegetation management. The phenological phases (budding, flowering and setting) had a fairly regular course, producing therefore a good production, with a much higher bunch weight than last year. During the harvest period the weather conditions were very good and the grape harvest returned to a more traditional timing. The products, as soon as the racking is completed, result in a very intense color shade, of sustained gradations, but with high acidity values.

A perfumed red introduced by rose, strawberry and kirsch aromas and flavors, with savory notes of eucalyptus and mint weighing in as this firms up midpalate through the finish. Elegant and vibrant. Best from 2024 through 2040. —B.S.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Paesaggio Inatteso delivers a confident and upfront presentation of aromas with dark fruit, light spice, tarry smoke and cured tobacco. The wine presents a complete portrait of a vintage that offers ripe fruit on the one hand and acidic freshness on the other. It shows a streamlined, mid-weight mouthfeel with a tannic structure that veers toward accessibility. This is a certified organic wine, and again, my main complaint is a too-high 15% alcohol content. Production is 6,600 bottles.

Nose full of red fruits, leather and chocolate; the attack is soft and balanced, the tannins are robust and persistent. Terroir wine from the south-west of the growing area, it becomes more and more elegant with aeration.

Fragrant aromas of tulips, plums, cherries and orange peel. Full-bodied with vibrant fruit shining out of a tight, firm and fine tannin frame. So much energy here. Fruit evolves to praline and walnuts. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2024.

A dusty bouquet of dried roses, black cherries, licorice and worn leather makes the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Paesaggio Inatteso a total pleasure on the nose. This is silky upon entry and energetic, with potent red fruits and savory spices that drench the palate with youthful concentration. Through it all, a subtle coating of crunchy tannins settles in, providing a crisp framework that lingers through the perfumed finale. This may not be a classic Brunello, but in a few years time, I expect the Paesaggio Inatteso to be overdelivering in every way.
