Le Cinciole Petresco 2018

The 2018 Petresco is another stellar wine from Le Cinciole. Bright and focused, with striking explosive energy, Petresco sizzles with tension. Black cherry, coffee, spice, leather, incense, lavender and plum all run through a linear, driving pure Sangiovese that is going to need at least a few years to come together. There is a ton of potential here, but readers need to be patient. Drinking window: 2024-2038. Score - 97. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, July 2022) 750 mL bottle
