 <\/p>\n

(November 2023 – TORONTO) …<\/strong><\/em> It’s the second annual Brunello Day held in places like Toronto, New York, London as back in Montalcino – all on the same day.<\/p>\n

The sommeliers poured over 100 wines; all in the similar fashion they do it in Montalcino, and a list of wines to choose from. I was thankfully able to request and taste them all in the time provided; which is always the challenge.<\/p>\n

The vintage in question is the 2019 – which is reported at the event as a beautiful vintage – that fact is reflected in the amount of wines that made this list.<\/p>\n

I used my usual Good \/ Better \/ Best approach, which I use for young and unfinished wines at Anteprimas. There were quite a lot of Good and Better wines, while only 4 hit the mark for BEST … but I think that’s a pretty good ratio for wines on a best of list.<\/p>\n

BEST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Banfi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino – Poggio Alle Mura \"Brunello<\/em> <\/span>
Acidity brightens the soft dark fruit while the tannins are silky and approachable. There’s some longevity in this bottle and it will shine in years to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

Collemattoni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino  <\/em><\/span>
It’s all right here: the fruit, the oak, the acidity, the spice … it’s tasty and well made.<\/em><\/p>\n

Uccelliera 2019 Brunello di Montalcino  <\/em><\/span>
Nice and juicy with a punch of acidity that carries the fruit, while the oak plays an integral part in bringing it all together.<\/em><\/p>\n

Val di Suga 2019 Brunello di Montalcino – Vigna del Lago<\/em> <\/span>
This one shows an elegance of both fruit and acidity; it will age beautifully with all that fruit at its core and all the surrounding players creating a symphony over time.<\/em><\/p>\n
