Decanter’s ‘Best Value’ Brunello 2020
“The 2020 estate Brunello is an absolute charmer. Exotically scented, it leads with spiced persimmon, arbutus bush and heady lavender. Appetising and accessible, the palate is packed with glossy, almost candied fruit, and there is a fullness of flavour without being heavy. Fine, powdery tannins dissolve fluently, exposing a juicy core of succulent blood orange. Impossible not to like.” - Michaela Morris

Warm winter, infrequent rainfall, but sufficient to meet groundwater requirements. The months of June and July were perfect, including some rain and a beautiful temperature range. At the end of July and the beginning of August there were hot weeks with the vineyards reacting very well without going into water stress. A rain at the end of the estate allowed us to maintain a gradual and homogeneous maturation.
