Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Overt and ripe style to this wine. Fresh roses, black cherries and raspberries, together with macerated violets. The attack is firm yet balanced, with ripe, velvety tannins that turn chalkier in texture on the finish, fresh acidity and medium to full body. Despite the warmth at the end, it’s youthful and good. Best after 2025.

The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino sports a youthful ruby/red color and is ripe and expressive on the nose with the sweet perfume of baked strawberries, hints of blue fruit, candied violets, and toasted vanilla bean. Full-bodied, supple, and refined on the palate, with ripe tannins and a glossy texture, it retains very nice freshness and buoyancy on the palate and has a clean, even finish. It's highly approachable now and casts a wide net as an introduction to Brunello. Drink over the next 7-8 years.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is smoky, with an array of crushed rocks, dusty earth and savory herbs giving way to black cherries. It sweeps across the palate with juicy red and black fruits accelerated by a core of acidity. With a spicy tinge toward the finish, the 2020 tapers off dry and long with a tactile mineral grip and hints of underripe plum.
