Tasting notes
A bright red brick color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino lifts from the glass with aromas of grenadine, baking spice, cinnamon, and crushed roses. Elegant and medium-bodied, it offers fine tannins and a floating feel on the palate, with a hint of sanguine earth and dried leaves. A lovely Brunello that's showing very well now, I would prefer to enjoy it over the next several years. This would be a terrific wine for restaurants to pour by the glass if the price permits.

Just mid ruby. Marasca cherry, pine, hints of smoke and tobacco leaf. Light cherry-fruit palate with a thick layer of powdery tannins. Lacks a little in fruit for the tannic load. (WS)
Sour cherries are complemented by cedar shavings and spiced orange hints as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino slowly evolves in the glass. This is youthfully tight and lean, with a core of tart red berry fruits and mineral tones that saturate under an air of rosy inner florals. Gently tannic and long, the 2020 leaves the senses drenched in primary concentration. Patience is needed to allow this to fill out and put on some weight.
