Mocali Brunello Di Montalcino 750 ml

Cherry, strawberry, black pepper and a huge mineral vein mark this sleek, intense red. Shows tension, energy and harmony on a linear frame, and the finish extends with elements of Mediterranean scrub. Best from 2027 through 2043.

The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is exuberant in the glass. It pours a deep ruby/red color and is lush with aromas of preserved cherries, lavender oils, strawberry compote, and fresh sage. Full-bodied and rounded on the palate, it's open-knit and approachable, with ripe, velvety tannins, even acidity, and a very nice finish. It's a very appealing wine that's going to offer a wide drinking window over the coming 8-10 years.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is mineral-rich, with a dark floral profile containing notes of graphite and crushed stone that come together with grilled herbs and savory spice. It's surprisingly juicy and fresh, with a cascade of ripe red plums and rosy inner florals energized by vibrant acidity. It leaves a tart cranberry concentration, finishing gently tannic yet full of youthful tension. Further time in bottle should help to lift its brooding aromatics—nicely done.
