Reviews

A perfumed Brunello with aromas of violets, black cherries and a touch of leather, plus a restrained yet intoxicating balsamic core. Full-bodied and firm yet ripe, showing velvety tannins, great fruit concentration, chewy acidity and a long, chalky, floral finish. Almost ready to drink, but it deserves time to develop.
From the steepest site of the estate, with a southern exposure, the magenta/ruby-colored 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Piaggione is concentrated with gorgeous aromas of Amarena cherries, pure sweet herbs, smoky stones, and a polished feel. It's full-bodied on the palate but feels weightless, with refined, velvety tannins and a long finish. It's very finessed and quite impressive. The producers were leaning toward a more finessed approach in this vintage that comes through in the wine without sacrificing anything for the ripeness, texture, and feel of the wine. Bravo. Drink 2026-2050.
