Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione is darkly alluring and haunting in the glass. It mixes nuances of blackberry with mentholated herbs, pine shavings and hints of cardamom. More lifted than expected, it has a stern mineral core and cooling acidity that enlivens its ripe wild berry fruits. Edgy and intense, the 2021 forces the mouth to water despite its structure, as a tart cherry resonance puckers the cheeks, framed by grippy tannins.
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2038
