Brunello di Montalcino Cielo Sangiovese 2018
A failed blind, but it was WOTN for me and most on the table! Roses and tar notes along with substantial acid and grip (although elegant) found me firmly in Piedmont. Should have known - it’s not the first time I’ve mistaken a Sangiovese for a Nebbiolo (and notably more so than the other way around). Blind aside, the wine itself definitely had everyone on the table buzzing with excitement when first poured. So aromatic and complex, with notes of dark red cherries, roses, tar, smoky incense, and liquorice. Robust tannins on the palate, yet there’s a real airiness to the wine. Beautiful energy with the underlying mineral streak. Just pure drinking pleasure!
NB: From what I understand, the “Cielo” now replaces the Rosso, which will no longer be made at the winery. The “Cielo” is a blend of different plots. — 9 months ago
In Italy we say that 10yo nebbiolo and pinots( i mean Burgundy of course) tend to become much alike, but then we all end up messing up with great sangiovese in the mix, mostly Chianti from Castelnuovo Berardenga or Radda and Brunello, obviously when they are all aged too. Take the label off a Castell'in Villa Chianti Riserva with some age or a Le Pergole Torte and you will surely think of Burgundy same as some Barolo or Barbaresco. The only markers i find very uniques in Nebbiolo can be the rose petals and the talc powder that are more pronounced than in any Burgundy.
Another example of the confusion that can be there is the licorice from a great aged Brunello(Soldera), a top aged Serralunga Barolo and a Chambertin(just). I love to be in the position to be wrong or right on this which means i am sipping them😅😅.
However Stella is that bracket of wines, at the pinnacle IMO.

Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2013
2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and after 30 mins. Reticent nose. Medium-heavy body. Massive flavors and structure. Wouldn’t open it any time soon. Phenomenal now but so so intense. If you can Potsie it for a decade plus, do so. Another reminder as to why Barolo is the wine of kings. 11.01.24. — 2 months ago
