Bottle of Sanlorenzo Brunello di Montalcino

Bottle photo: Sanlorenzo

The 2020 San Lorenzo Brunello di Montalcino opens with a broad, generous palate, its Sangiovese fruit pushing forward from the first sip. In the glass it shows a glowing medium ruby-red core and a lighter pink rim, with aromas of sun-dried strawberry, wild strawberry essence, lemon verbena, and the dust of a gravel country lane. Chalky tannins and elevated acidity give shape to the mid-palate, while a faint note of red currant adds tartness. The finish stays fruit-driven, tinged with crushed bay leaf.
