Gianni Brunelli, Brunello di Montalcino, 2021 (1.5L)

One of the undiscovered jewels of Montalcino, Laura Brunelli produces lovely, honest, and elegant real Brunello from vines planted across two prime parcels. The 2021 vintage benefits from exceptional day-night temperature variation during summer, delivering a wine of compelling aromatic complexity and freshness. Dried flowers, crushed rocks, and grilled herbs frame silken tannins and bracing acidity. Approachable now but promises to evolve beautifully through the mid-2040s.
