The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is one of the standouts of the vintage and is a youthful ruby/magenta color. On the nose, it's floral and perfumed with aromas of violets, black cherries, graphite, rosemary, and fresh sage. It's seamless on the palate, with a weightless feel in a medium to full-bodied frame, and has plush tannins, refreshing acidity, and a haunting finish. This stunning wine should drink well over the next 20 years.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino seduces from the glass with a complex and layered bouquet as pine shavings and mint lift black raspberry aromas. It features a bouquet with whiffs of dried orange peels, saddle leather and Tuscan dust. This hovers across the palate, graceful and serene, casting a silken feel and remaining seemingly weightless and refined. It showcases ripe red and hints of blue fruit complemented by violet inner florals. The energy within is spellbinding, especially when combined with the sapidity of its fruit. The 2020 tapers off long and fresh, with sweet tannins that make for a perfect punctuation to the experience. Salvioni found a beautiful balance in the 2020 vintage that shows no sign of the warm conditions one might expect.
