Opened sometime before service; enjoyed in the company of Natalie Oliveros. The 2018 Brunello Fiore di NO pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Montmorency cherry, raspberry, red flowers, black tea, tobacco, some varnished wood, dried green herbs, warm spices and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. An arguably more modern, polished expression of La Fiorita’s Brunello. Drink now through 2048.
