Il Cocco Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Tuscany, Italy

Falstaff 90 points! (on the 2017 vintage)

Il Cocco Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful red wine gem from the excellent 2018 vintage. Il Cocco has been part of the Bindi family since the 1700’s and lies at the highest elevation in the appellation. The winery now has the youngest winemaker in Brunello, Giacomo Bindi. This is a Brunello with great elegance and intensity. Generous on the nose with scents of dried flowers, spices and ripe fruit. Great structure and finesse with a bold finish. 100% Sangiovese, certified organic in the EEC.

“Bright ruby red with a faintly brighter hue at the rim. Medium intensity on the nose, with hints of cranberry and light leather. On the palate vibrant, lush fruit, medium-weight, showing delicacy imparted from the wood, with minimal dryness on the finish.”— Falstaff, 90 points! (on the 2017 vintage)

Il Cocco Brunello di Montalcino pairs well with roast beef, osso buco, rich vegetarian dishes, and aged cheeses.
