Bright ruby with an orange tinge, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive on opening, with forward aromas of spiced orange peel, clove, cherry pit, and dusty earth. It offers a very appealing lift on the palate, with Medium body, fine tannins, and snappy acidity as well as savory notes of tea leaf on the finish. This is a very charming wine from Fanti to enjoy over the coming 6-7 years.

Balsam herbs and dark chocolate aromas give way to dried black cherries and pine shavings as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass. This is a sleek and racy effort, with cool-toned acidity and dark red fruits that flow across a silken textural wave. It finishes spicy and long, also remarkably fresh, with edgy tannins that resonate as salted licorice hints slowly taper off. The balance within is stunning, yet don't let the giving nature of the 2019 fool you; this is a wine for the cellar.
