The organic Camigliano 2020 Brunello di Montalcino has a more Rubenesque personality due to the warm exposures and thicker soils of this part of the appellation. The bouquet is definitely bigger in personality, with blown-up aromas of bold cherry, dark plum and spicy earth. The wine ends with young tannins and an upfront, fruit-forward approach. This is a big production of 200,000 bottles.

The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a transparent bright red color and is ripe with aromas of strawberry preserve, candied flowers, sweet herbs, and mossy earth. Medium-framed, it's vibrant on the palate, with a linear feel, fine tannins, and bright acidity, leading with notes of orange citrus through a rather long finish and a touch of warmth. It retains good purity and energy and is very well-balanced. Drink 2026-2040.

Woodland herbs and earth tones come together with dried black cherries as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens in the glass. This splashes across the palate with ease, lifted and energetic, with wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals riding a wave of brisk acidity. It leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and hints of spice, tapering off with medium length and a sour cherry concentration. A nice effort, yet I crave more mid-palate depth to take it to the next level.
