Brunello di Montalcino, Petroso,

Always a great “regular” Brunello, the 2019 expresses an array of red and black fruits with a more alluring and immediate feel compared to the single vineyards, complete with a spicy backbone, and ripe, melting, integrated tannins. The balance here is fabulous and it offers a lot of enjoyment. Mostly from vineyards around Montalcino and Castelnuovo del Abate (Fornace was not produced, to the benefit of the straight Brunello), plus a smattering of Montosoli and Petroso grapes.
