Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino 2020

The 2020 Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino is an elegant and deeply layered red, showcasing the refined character of a warm but balanced vintage. It presents an intense ruby-red colour that transitions to garnet with age. The bouquet is complex and expressive, opening with notes of ripe marasca cherries, forest berries, and black plums, underscored by sophisticated layers of sweet tobacco, leather, and refined balsamic spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring firm yet silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that ensures a long, harmonious evolution. The finish is persistent and savory, marked by lingering fruit flavours and a distinct earthy minerality characteristic of its Montalcino terroir.

90 Points - James Suckling

Ripe and lightly spirit-soaked cherries, together with plums. Lacks a little layering. The attack is firm, with velvety to chalky tannins and crisp acidity. Full body with a warming finish and slightly bold character overall. Drink from 2025.
