The 2019 Red Brunello di Montalcino showcases a vintage of remarkable intensity, with rich notes of macerated dark fruits, smoke, and spices, enhanced by a warm, oaky touch from its aging process. These enticing aromas lead into a concentrated and generous palate, supported by firm tannins that promise excellent aging potential. This wine, with its substantial body and modern style, can be enjoyed over the next decade. Rated 94/100 by Parker. |
