Full of the vibrancy of its great terroir, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is a clear expression of Sangiovese. The nose offers delicate floral notes of rose and peony, with subtle oak and a refreshing hint of eucalyptus. The palate is well-structured, with fine tannins and an elegant balance, though the oak influence is still present in its youth. A classic wine from this region, it promises to evolve beautifully over the next 10 years. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.

With excellent aging potential, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino highlights all the signature qualities of the grape and region. The nose is rich with balsamic notes, alongside dried flowers and spices. On the palate, it delivers a bold, full-bodied character with a touch of oak in the background, complemented by firm yet polished tannins. This is a remarkable wine built to age gracefully for 10 years or more. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
