Bright red. Enticing, nuanced nose offers scents of red cherry, brown spices, underbrush and licorice. Subtly sweet, multilayered, creamy flavors of ripe red cherry, milk chocolate and licorice are underpinned by a firm acid/tannin spine. Finishes long, with a light note of menthol plus sweeter hints of marzipan and spices. I came away impressed by this wine's tannins, which are much finer than those of most other 2011 Brunellos.

Giuseppe Gorelli, Montalcino

Giuseppe Gorelli, a proud Montalcino native, began showcasing his winemaking talents at just 18, impressing the local consortium and learning from the legendary Giulio Gambelli. In 2017, he took a bold step and established his own winery in Northeast Montalcino, where he now tends to 6.3 hectares of vineyards known for their exceptional tannins and ideal growing conditions. His debut vintage in 2018 reflects his passion, with Sangiovese fermented spontaneously in Garbelotto casks, resulting in Rosso di Montalcino aged for nine months and Brunello for four years. Recently, he declared his first "riserva" from the cool 2019 vintage and shared the exciting news of finding a permanent cantina for his Garbelotto bottis also in the Northewestern Montalcino.
