A youthful red/ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Poggiotondo is ripe and expressive with aromas of cherry pie, baking spices, cedar, and mossy earth. Medium to full-bodied, it builds in structure, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a mouthwatering finish. It's a charming wine with grippy structure to drink over the next 4-5 years.

A dusting of cocoa and espresso blows off to reveal peppery rose and dried black cherries as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino evolves in the glass. This washes across the palate with textures of pure silk, ushering in a saline-tinged blend of red berries and cedar. It finishes short on fruit yet still structured, leaving a sense of rusticity.
