Brunello di Montalcino 2020, Gianni Brunelli
A Brunello of extraordinary precision and grace. The aromatic profile plays on citrus, floral, and crisp red fruit notes of rare purity. On the palate, it is harmonious, vibrant, and characterized by a masterful balance between warmth and freshness. A sunny and poetic interpretation that confirms Laura Brunelli at the top of the denomination for elegance and drinkability.
Brunello di Montalcino 2020, Gianni Brunelli
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino by Gianni Brunelli (Le Chiuse di Sotto) is a tribute to balance and aristocratic elegance. The 2020 vintage, marked by a hot summer but with excellent temperature fluctuations before the harvest, has produced a wine with generous fruit and disarmingly silky tannins. The secret lies in the skillful blend between the northern vineyards (Le Chiuse di Sotto), which provide freshness and verticality, and the southeastern ones (Podernovone), which give body and structure. On the nose, it is an explosion of small red fruits, cherry and raspberry, followed by notes of blood orange, violet, and a balsamic touch of mint and licorice. On the palate, it is pure silk; the sip is agile, lively, supported by a savory acidity that makes it dangerously inviting and with an exceptionally long finish.
