Tasting note

Montalcino Sangiovese should give this 2020 Brunello a fragrant profile of sour cherry, plum and dried herbs. Expect energetic acidity and a firm layer of tannin to carry the fruit across a structured, finely textured palate. Its listed peak begins in 2026 and continues through 2039 within a horizon to 2046; the finish should linger on tart cherry before turning gently savory and earthy.
