Note di degustazione
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino has evolved beautifully over the last year, with a darkly alluring bouquet of flowery underbrush, worn leather, and sage giving way to crushed strawberries and autumnal spice. It impresses with its silken depths offset by a wave of tart red berry fruits and brisk acidity as crunchy mineral tones add contrast toward the close. Its sneaky tannins come in late, staining and potent, as nuances of lavender linger through the youthfully structured finale. This is easily one of the wines of the vintage. Pure beauty.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a very elegant expression with tart berry aromas backed by pulverized stone, light spice and hints of pressed violet. This is a pretty style of Sangiovese realized by Gigliola Giannetti and her lovely daughters in an area of the appellation that always delivers freshness, bright fruit flavors and lower alcohol, measured here at 13.5% (even in the warmest seasons). This vintage is poised for medium-term drinking, and this gives it a friendly or accessible side. Production is 19,000 bottles.
When I tried Le Potazzine’s 2020 Rosso di Montalcino a couple of years ago, my tasting notes exclaimed, ‘buy!!!’. I was enchanted by the heady florals, munificent fruit, silky texture and vibrancy. While the Brunello is less immediately explosive, it kicks everything up a notch with graceful intensity and sneaky density. Winter mint, rose and red raspberry build slowly in the glass. Fine, powdery tannins provide a precise outline to the supple yet crunchy fruit, and pink grapefruit refreshes. Seamless and effortlessly complex. Again I say, ‘buy!’.
Another stunning vintage for Le Potazzine, the estate’s gorgeous 2020 Brunello starts off with beguiling scents of rose, violet, wild berry, eucalyptus and juniper. All about finesse, it’s also savory and intense, delivering succulent Marasca cherry, orange zest, star anise and a sanguine note recalling rusty nail. Firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide plenty of structure and balance. Abv: 14%
