The most famous red wine made in Tuscany is Brunello di Montalcino.100% Sangiovese aged five years after harvest, the estate of Castello Finoto is located on the south side of Montalcino, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Known for their ripe, powerful aromas, with an underlying intensity and weight, Castello Finoto is our top pick for the 2019 vintage. One of the finest of this generation, and arguably the best since the epic 2010s, the 2019 vintage is setting a new standard for Brunello's modern era. Dominated by flavors of freshly picked blueberries, this classically styled Italian red develops aromas of red fruits, with violet and black cherry notes, rising on the long coffee and oaky finish. Beautifully pure and inviting, with sweeping acidity and soft, ripe tannins.
"Dried red plums, figs,and potpourri with a fascinating touch of dried meat. Medium-bodied with chewy yet fine tannins. Beautiful length and depth. Savory and flavorful on both the nose and palate. Give this more time to round up. Hold until 2026." James Suckling, 94 Points
