Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Silky, polished elegance arrives this February from the hands of Laura Brunelli, who continues her late husband Gianni's legacy of refined Brunello. The 2021 opens with dried flowers and crushed rocks, unfolding into layers of Morello cherry, wild raspberry, and blood orange warmed by dark spice and crushed mint. The Montalcino terroir sings through with minerality and restrained tannins, creating a wine that enters its drinking window earlier than most yet promises to evolve beautifully for years to come.
