2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo Argiano Magnum

Structured and with excellent sensorial precision, it shows notes of black plums, blackberries, white chocolate, plain yogurt, sage, bay leaves, sweet caramel and guaranà. Lots of rosemary describes the secondary scene. Medium-full body, soft tannins and a balanced finish with excellent depth. Drink now or grow old.

Intense aromas of iris, wild rose, woodland berry, freshly mown hay and eucalyptus come to the forefront on the stunningly gorgeous 2020 Vigna del Suolo. Linear and loaded with finesse, the firmly structured palate features juicy red cherry, blood orange, strawberry, star anise and cake spice accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. It’s well balanced, with fresh acidity.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Suolo captivates as a bouquet of dried roses and crushed stone gives red plums and spice orange peels. This is surprisingly juicy and graceful in style, sweeping across the palate with silken textures yet lifted in feel as depths of red and blueberry fruits settle on the senses. The 2020 tapers off youthfully tense and structured, leaving a tart cranberry concentration and web of fine-grained tannins that flex upon the palate. The 2020 should gain weight with cellaring, but it will always be an incredibly pretty and finessed interpretation of Vigna del Suolo.

A jeweled ruby color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Del Suolo is dark and inviting with candied aromas of mixed red and black fruit, pie spices, sweet flowers, and fresh mossy earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with a polished and finessed, ripe structure with a coating feel, although it's not heavy, retaining good freshness and a mineral underpinning of light meaty richness. It's very nicely done.

Expressive, supple and harmonious, evoking cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Lively and backed by fine-grained tannins, this builds consistently on the palate to the long, refreshing finish, which echoes the fruit and mineral elements. Everything is in the right place.
