2014 Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino RP--91 JS--92

Robert Parker: 91 Points
This wine magically shows more warmth and sunshine than this difficult vintage gave in reality. The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino delivers extra density and a richly fibrous texture. It exceeds expectations for this difficult vintage that was plagued by rain and humidity, resulting in much weaker wines across the board. You do taste some of that leanness, but this wine performs very nicely despite the challenges.

"Complex aromas of plums, fresh leather and flowers follow through to a medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Solid still. Drink or hold."~JS "This six-acre vineyard in southern Montalcino is meticulously cared for by the Marchetti family. The winery Fossacolle was established in 1984 and the first vintage of Brunello was 1997. The unique microclimate benefits from the winds of nearby Maremma."
