Black cherries, black bark, blackberries and lavender. Medium- to full-bodied with juicy and polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Needs four or five years to open and come together. Best after 2027.

The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a saturated ruby color and is ripe with aromas of black cherry, toasted cedar, balsamic herbs, and licorice. Full-bodied, it’s open knit and approachable, with ripe tannins, a balanced structure, and a lot of charm. It’s hearty and drinking well now, although it should hold up nicely over the coming 8-10 years.

This substantial red is as savory as it is fruity, boasting cherry, plum, leather, wild thyme, woodsy underbrush, iron and tobacco notes. Burly, with dusty tannins guarding the lingering finish. Best from 2027 through 2043.

Among Montalcino’s biggest estates and the largest with organic certification, Castelgiocondo stretches out between Camigliano and Tavernelle in the denomination’s southwest. The Brunello is complied from plots between 350 to 450 metres high on predominantly schistous Galestro. Focused and expressive, the nose exhibits an intriguing mix of red cherry, plum, nutmeg and mint. There is a lusciousness to the layers of generous fruit and suede-like texture to the tannins. Sweet earth and forest undertones permeate. Well-made with everything effortlessly in place.

The Frescobaldi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo has oaky notes, dried spice, redwood and cured tobacco. At its core, the wine shows dark fruit and a thick level of extraction. The tannins are soft and resolved, setting this Brunello up for an immediate drinking window. The wine is exactly where you want it to be, especially if served across from a steak and baked potato.
