Carpineto Brunello di Montalcino 2020

The nose is sweet and comforting, with aromas of vanilla, cherry blossom, wild strawberry and orange peel. The palate brings the more playful sweetness of cherries, strawberries and chocolate vanilla swirl, but a hot streak of acid and a spiced finish provide balance. [Drink into early 2040s+.] Score – 94. (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2025)
