Brunello’s 2019 vintage has everyone excited. Wine Spectator titled their vintage review, “Brunello’s 2019 Triumph: The latest vintage from Montalcino delivers pure Sangiovese of power and grace.” Vinous says, “This is a vintage of radiance and appeal without any sensation of over-ripeness or lack of complexity.” And Wine Advocate says:

“If Brunello is your thing, I recommend that you buy and collect the 2019 village bottlings (or annata wines), selections and single-vineyard expressions. Some are poised for long aging of 20 years or more, but this versatile vintage also offers a great selection to enjoy in an immediate or medium-term drinking window over the next five to 10 years.”

Let’s see for ourselves how this benchmark vintage is presenting now as we explore some terrific 2019 Brunello di Montalcino bottlings. Here’s our line-up:
