The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a jeweled ruby/red color and has a very lovely, complete feel with aromas of cherry liqueur, raspberries, candied licorice, balsamic herbs, and sage. It's beautiful and saturated and floats on the long palate, with a medium to full frame, a supple, ripe feel, and lovely freshness. It has the ability to improve and drink well over the coming 20 years.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is spellbinding. Youthfully coy, it features a minty freshness and wild herbal thrust, giving way to bright cherry-berry fruit complicated by hints of worn leather. This is energetic and spry, yet elegant to the core, with crisp wild berries and a cascade of sweet spice elevated by zesty acidity. Tannic and potent yet still fresh, the 2020 lingers with a resonance of tart cranberry and sour citrus that leaves the cheeks puckered and the palate thirsting for more. This is a wild vintage of Uccelliera's Brunello di Montalcino. It's structured for the long haul yet already such a pleasure to taste.
