Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2017

Tasted blind . Medium deep , garnet core , garnet rim . Quite sweet spiced nose , slightly deeper cherry , riper slightly less fresh . Black tea . On the palate this is deeper and richer , more extracted in style . Darker cherry , blackberry , quite high acidity but slightly drying tannins . This is quite intense and with lots of presence, reasonably long , dry spice , dried dark cherry finish . Really quite young . Needs more time , better in 3-5 years and will last well a further 5-10 — 7 days ago

Conti Costanti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Sangiovese at its finest. When the Tuscan sun kisses Sangiovese grapes, this is what you can get. Stunning. Age worthy, and this wine should be in any serious Italian collection — a month ago

Argiano

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

2020 vintage. The overwrought 2018 vintage got the Wine Spectator wine of year honor whilst the 2019 showed better oomph and aging qualities. This was nice and pretty but lacking in either long-term structure or roided up, meaty goodness. 03.12.25 — 13 days ago
