Tasting Notes

Forest floor, wild rose, Mediterranean scrub, new leather and forest berry aromas take shape on the fragrant 2020 Brunello from Gianni Brunelli. Showing elegance and restraint, the savory palate delivers red cherry, woodland strawberry, truffle and orange zest before a star anise finish. Silky tannins and fresh acidity provide seamless support and balance. Drink 2027–2032.

The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is balanced, finely textured and shows smooth consistency over the palate. There is a lot of life in this vibrant Brunello. Red and purple fruits segue to sweet earth and iris root. I especially love the mouthfeel achieved here. It's that combination of richness and extreme silkiness that sets it apart. This is a release of 16,907 bottles plus larger formats. 2025-2040.

Just mid ruby. Cardamom and morocco-leather hints and iodine, minerally notes on the nose. Compact, youthful cherry-fruit palate with delicious chewy tannins taking the lead on the aromatic fruit finish. Great potential. Drink between 2025-2034.
