Tasting notes
A bright red/orange color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is forward with aromas of baked red strawberries, melding spices, vanilla, and candied roses. This continues to the medium-bodied palate with fine tannins and a juicy profile. Straightforward, with a nice lift of orange citrus to close it out, it would be best enjoyed over the next few years.

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is extroverted in the glass. Exotic spices and cedar shavings complement medicinal cherry and sweet rose. This is soft and round on the palate, with a polished wave of ripe red and hints of blue fruit. Its tannins come forward through the finish, combined with a pleasantly bitter tinge as a tart cranberry tension lingers.
Certified organic by ICEA. Just mid ruby. Minerally cherry fruit with a balsamic note of eucalyptus. Gorgeous, succulent, tangy cherry fruit mellowed by a little oak and with a layer of rich, chewy tannins. Super-seductive, with loads of character. (WS)
