The estate, owned by the Folonari family since 2001, produces just one Brunello bottling — no reserve of fruit diverted elsewhere, the entire harvest channeled into this single wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage ran cool and fresh after a string of warm years, with moderate summer temperatures and strong westerly winds drying the harvest right before picking. The result is Brunello with more aromatic transparency than the brawnier 2015 or 2017 — Wine Enthusiast awarded it 95 points, calling out its \"delightful, spicy argument between chili and vanilla bean.\" Wine Advocate gave it 92.
