Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 Banfi

A beautiful red with cedar, mushroom and cherry character, as well as hints of sandalwood. It’s medium-bodied and very polished with loveliness and finesse that comes through clearly. A wine to drink young, but will age very nicely. Drink or hold.

A refined and generous Brunello, exhibiting plum, cherry, strawberry and even floral flavors. This strives for elegance, achieving it with harmony and a line of fine-grained tannins on the lingering finish. There's ample fruit midpalate that resonates on the mineral finish, showing fine definition.

Darkly alluring, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens slowly with a blend of dried flowers and cedar spice box giving way to red currants. It’s soft textured with a lovely inner sweetness up front contrasted by tactile mineral tones and tart wild berry fruits. Acidity maintains balance as the 2019 finishes spicy and long, leaving the mouth watering despite grippy tannins that linger on. The energy of the 2019 vintage lends this an accessibility not often seen from such a young Brunello.
