Brunello 2018 Walkaround Tasting with Honest Grapes – Wednesday 15th February
Honest Grapes and 67 Pall Mall are delighted to welcome you for a walk-around tasting to sample some elegant 2018 Brunello wines available En Primeur, or as the Italians say, AntePrima. We are honoured to be joined by some of the most prestigious Brunello winemakers, who will provide some insight into this unique vintage. Attendees will leave fueled with an appreciation of Brunello wines and an understanding of their qualities.
After the baking and arid 2017 vintage, 2018 was cooler and damper, yielding wines stylistically recalling an era prior to the recent solar years, with generally impressive results. Vinous’ Eric Guido has described the best wines as “Burgundian”, with “vividly dark, ripe fruit, balanced acidity and refined tannins”. He also notes that in 2018 the “quality of mid-level wines is higher than in the past” and we have a selection which, bright, fresh and supple, will delight on release, whilst the top wines “will overperform, overdeliver and thrill”. In short, this is an absolutely charming vintage with immediate hedonic appeal and there are a number of superb wines from our favourite growers that we cannot wait to share with you. We will also have a couple of late release and Riserva 2017s plus a selection of Rosso 2021s, increasingly the best value wines in Italy.
Producers represented include Valdicava, Giodo, Castello Romitorio, Mastrojanni, Argiano, Siro Pacenti, Le Gode and Patrizia Cencioni.
