The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino tempts the senses with a perfumed mix of wild strawberries, plums, lavender and sage. This is a pure yet potent effort, with depths of mineral-laced red fruits carried across silken textural waves. The 2020 leaves notes of hard candies, licorice and pretty rosy florals while finishing with just a hint of grippy tannins that frame the wine well. For all of its finesse, there's an underlying power here that will carry this for many years to come. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2022)

Cherry and plum fruit notes carry it. Surrounded by herbal, brushy notes with licorice hitting the upper palate mid-profile. Before opening it had more tar and cedar; after a few hours herbal notes have strongly developed. Medium-plus to strong-minus sandy tannins.
