Nuances of dusty florals, rosemary, sage, clove and leather give way to dried strawberry aromas as the radiant 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante blossoms in the glass. It’s silky-smooth and deep, displaying extraordinary elegance. Soothingly soft textures, ripe red and blue fruit notes and a kick of vibrant acidity provide fantastic energy. Sweet, crunchy tannins steadily build toward the violet-tinged finale, tapering off with hints of blood orange and spice. In a word, spellbinding.

A bright medium red color, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigneti Del Versante takes a lovely citrus and fresh red-fruited profile, with aromas of orange peel, pomegranate, delicate spices, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a linear and graceful profile on the palate, with fine tannins and notes of mineral earth. It’s perhaps a touch more ready and open to drinking sooner, with notes of dried strawberries and herbes de Provence. It’s long on the palate, with a mineral texture and a clean perfume on the finish. Drink 2025-2040.

Slightly more closed or hesitant on first nose, the Pian dell’Orino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versantedoes show strong shoulders and medium-plus fruit concentration. This wine needs more time in bottle to properly flesh out, but you already get a clear view of its bright fruit, herbal notes and blue flower. It presents very elegant, broad-brushed aromas that are characteristic of this warm vintage.
