2021 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli DOCG
“Dark fruit flavors of black cherry, black currant and blackberry are accented by violet, mineral and wild herb flavors. This red is racy and complex, with terrific energy from start to finish. Though this is focused on the fruit, there’s a lot going on. Best from 2029 through 2050.”- 98/100, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
Region: Montosoli, Montalcino
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli DOCG
