Tasting notes
The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a deep and youthful red color and slowly starts to unfold with sanguine aromas of iron-rich earth, black cherries, cocoa, and espresso. The palate is saturating and full, with plush, ripe tannins, snappy, fresh acidity to lift it off the palate, and wonderful mouthwatering saltiness. This brooding wine will likely hit its prime a bit sooner, but it should drink well over the coming 8-10 years.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino lifts from the glass with mentholated herbs, giving way to plum sauce, grilled sage, flowery underbrush and wet stones. This displays notable weight and richness, smoothing over the palate with ripe red and black fruits complemented by hints of molten chocolate. The 2020 tapers off with tension as a sour citrus tinge mingles with fine tannins. A bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering.
