Giuseppe Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018
Vintage Character
Giuseppe Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG made from Sangiovese in Tuscany, drawn from the cooler northern side of Montalcino, where higher-elevation sites and galestro-rich soils help preserve perfume, tension, and finesse. In 2018, a generally cooler, more changeable growing season produced wines of brightness and precision rather than sheer power, making this a vintage valued for balance, drinkability, and classic proportion. That northern exposure is central to the wine’s identity, giving Brunello depth without heaviness and a more lifted, finely etched expression of the denomination.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The Wine Advocate awarded this wine 92 points, and the style fits that praise: the nose opens with red cherry, wild raspberry, violet, dried herbs, and a touch of cedar, followed by hints of balsam and earth. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied yet agile, with vivid acidity, refined tannins, and layered flavors of sour cherry, blood orange, spice, and savory mineral nuance that carry into a long, poised finish. Pair it with rosemary-roasted lamb, duck ragù pappardelle, or grilled porcini mushrooms.
Winery Background
Giuseppe Gorelli is one of Montalcino’s most respected winemaking figures, having advised important estates before creating his own label to express a personal vision of elegance and site transparency. His work centers on careful farming, hand-harvesting, and a traditional approach that favors precision over extraction, with aging in large Slavonian oak to preserve the character of Sangiovese and the nuance of place. Produced in very small quantities, this Brunello stands out as a benchmark for lovers of graceful, terroir-driven Montalcino.
