This is a remarkable Brunello from a COVID-19 vintage that launched many curveballs at producers. The Castello Romitorio 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is noticeably a step above its peers thanks to its seamless mouthfeel, its bright fruit concentration and its balanced freshness. It ages in oak for 24 months, and the grapes are picked from a site with cool clay soils. The finish is soft and polished. If you were to buy one village Brunello from the accessible 2020 vintage, let me direct your attention to this wine. Production is 40,000 bottles.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is vividly fresh and focused, with a cascade of dried strawberry, minty herbs and shaved cedar forming its seductive bouquet. This is a model of purity, with silky textures and a graceful feel. It showcases ripe red berry fruits complicated by a tactile staining of minerality. A gentle tug of fine tannins defines the finish. Hints of sour citrus mix with tart blackberry and licorice.
