2020 Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino

.

Jeb Dunnuck:

Interpreting a vintage marked by August heat, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a bright red hue and leans into a slightly richer, more immediate profile than the 2021. The nose has black raspberries, grenadine, violets, and warm spice. Medium to full-bodied, it has broader shoulders and more flesh, with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a generous finish that stays refined. It should drink well for 10 to 15 years. Drink 2026-2040.

Robert Parker:

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino comes from a lacy and delicate vintage, offering a tight embroidery of berry fruit flavors and blue flowers that contrasts clearly with the power and density of 2019. The palate is mild and transparent, showing less mid-palate weight but having a soft, silky finish that emphasizes grace over force. Despite the very hot growing season, the wine remains poised and immediately appealing, reflecting Cerbaiona’s restrained approach to Sangiovese."
