Tasting notes
A reflective red color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is polished and fruity, with aromas of grenadine, candied roses, crushed Mediterranean herbs, and polished cedar. It floats on the palate with a refined, approachable, and linear feel, with fine well-defined tannins and a pretty, clean, citrus and stone-fruited finish. This lovely Brunello is going to have a wide window for enjoyment over the coming 15 years.

The Poggio Antico 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a carefully assembled expression of Sangiovese with balanced freshness, bright fruit and big power. The wine shows a slightly austere personality with tight aromas of spice and tar that still need to soften. This is a nicely executed Brunello with silky and accessible tannins. Production is 24,400 bottles.
Certified organic (Valoritalia). Mid ruby. Saline, minerally notes over brooding raspberry fruit. Shyly fragrant and embryonic raspberry fruit. Fantastic, animating chewy tannins. (WS)
Candied-orange, mineral, cherry and some watermelon aromas follow through to a medium body with crunchy fruit and fine tannins. Blood-orange, too. Very crisp acidity to this. A little more at the finish would take it to the next level. Attractive now and will age nicely. Drink or hold.
