Brunello used to be the category you reached for when you wanted seriousness without spectacle. Wines made to be opened at the table, not talked about more than they’re drunk. That’s the spirit this bottle brings back.

Bonacchi is a family estate with deep Tuscan roots and a quietly disciplined approach to Brunello—farming first, patience always, and no interest in chasing trends. Their 2019 is a textbook expression of why Montalcino earned its reputation in the first place: Sangiovese that values line, proportion, and endurance over flash.

This is a wine that unfolds rather than announces itself. Red cherry and wild strawberry sit at the core, followed by dried herbs, leather, iron-rich earth, and a long, savory finish that keeps pulling you back to the glass. The tannins are firm but measured, the acidity fresh and carrying—everything in balance, everything in service of drinkability now and evolution later.

We secured this as a U.S. exclusive, and that alone makes it notable. But what really matters is that it delivers the kind of Brunello that’s getting harder to find at sane prices: honest, structured, and built for people who actually open their bottles.

This is not a trophy wine. It’s a useful one—the kind you’ll reach for again and again once you realize how well it fits at the table.
