The beautiful nose suggests dried tea leaves, earth, tobacco, cedar, five spice, dried cherries, orange zest and Christmas spices. The tannins have a brambly quality to them, but they slip effortlessly into place around finely indented creases of red-plum and red-cherry flavors. Long and composed, this is a silky, balanced, delightful offering. What a wine from the only cooperative in Montalcino!

Dark and toasty nose of dried cherries, truffles, dried earth, cloves, anise, charred bark and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Savory and compact with complex mushroom and spice notes on the lengthy, firm finish. Drink after 2023.

The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a ruby/red color and opens to notes of raspberry preserve, crushed flowers, pine, and minty herbs. Medium-bodied, it's elegant on the palate, with fine tannins, a graceful midweight texture, and a clean finish. It's a graceful, very pretty wine. Drink 2024-2034.
