Carpineto Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Cherry, raspberry, sweet spice, earth and eucalyptus flavors mingle in this intense, multifaceted red. Vivid acidity and a line of chalky tannins lend support as this plays out on the firm finish. Still needs time to absorb the tannins. In the end, this is elegant and dense. Best from 2029 through 2048. (Bruce Sanderson,winespectator.com,June 30, 2026)
