In the glass, it flashes a translucent garnet hue, spilling over with aromas of crushed dark cherries, blood orange peel, dried rose petals, and warm leather. On the palate, it’s sleek and energized, driving through with juicy red currant, savory Mediterranean herbs, and a dusting of cocoa before settling into a long, dusty-mineral finish framed by fine, chalky tannins. It’s an authentic, soul-satisfying Tuscan classic that delivers serious Grand Cru weight without the eye-watering price tag—a bottle you’ll want to open tonight, but wish you bought a case of for the decade ahead.
Why You'll Love It
-
The 2020 vintage brings a rare combination of energy and generosity, with bright fruit, freshness, and enough structure to age gracefully for a decade +.

This is the full Brunello experience — Sangiovese perfume, savory complexity, and firm but refined tannins — without the eye-watering price tag.

How To Serve It
-
Decant for about an hour and serve between 60–65°F, keeping the fruit bright and the tannins nice and polished.

Pair with braised meats, roast lamb, bistecca, mushroom dishes, or aged pecorino to match its structure and earthy depth.
