Expert review
The dark depths of rubbed sage, brown spice, chestnut and spiced blood orange give way to nuances of dried black cherry as the youthfully brooding 2021 Brunello di Montalcino slowly evolves in the glass. It is lifted in feel, soft textured and round, with pretty red berry fruits and cooling acidity as a vivid, gravelly mineral saturation penetrates the senses. This leaves an invigorating citrus twang to offset its fine-grained tannins as hints of spice linger through the long and surprisingly fresh finish. Bury this unbridled beast in the cellar
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a Tuscan red grape variety that has become the most planted and famous variety in Italy. You may know this variety by a few other names like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Montefalco Rosso or Carmignano, but rest assured it's all the same grape, but it may grow in different regions. Sangiovese is made for food and shows with aromas and flavours of cherry, red berries, roasted tomato, balsamic, Italian herbs, coffee and cured meats, backed by cutting acidity and a good grip of tannins. The best examples come from Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) and can age decades!
