Vinous Eric Guido - 01 Dec 21
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is deep and savory, with crushed raspberry and cherry sauce complemented by hints of tobacco and tomato leaf. This is a soft, pure effort that impresses with a mineral-tinged mix of red berries and licorice tones. It’s lightly structured with a salty flourish and residual acids that help to keep the expression lively and fresh.

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
