A historic Tuscan estate revered for some of the finest Sangiovese known, the 2019 opens with heady aromas of fragrant blue flower, woodland berry, forest floor and new leather, leading into juicy Marasca cherry, wild raspberry, blood orange, menthol and baking spice on the palate, with firm, ultra-refined tannins and bright, vibrant acidity

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. Clove and a
dusting of savory spice complicate a beguiling crushed black cherry
and strawberry bouquet. This presents textures of pure silk, ushering
in ripe red fruits and inner florals that stain the palate in youthful
concentration. The 2019 tapers off dramatically, leaving a bed of grippy
tannins to grumble on as licorice and orange hints slowly fade.
