"The 2024 Rosa is a blend of roughly one third each of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent, resulting from free-run juice of the red wine ferments. Year after year, the deep pink color is a joy to behold in this Umathum classic. Juicy strawberry on the nose is supported by a creamy backdrop and citrus overtones. The palate is, as always, fuller, rounder and superbly juicy. This is actually more of a light red in its bearing, its use and its nature, and it simply spells joy with its gastronomic potential. (Bone-dry)"

Dense aromas of red cherries, bark, mushrooms and plums follow through to a medium body with tangy acidity and juicy flavors. It’s very long and quite chunky, with velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Savory and tangy at the end. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years, Try after 2028.

Proprietor Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini has important holdings in this special cru, and if you're after Montosoli, this is one of the best expressions around. Fruit comes from a five-hectare plot with friable galestro soils at a sweet spot perched at 350 meters above sea level. The Altesino 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli flaunts an especially sharp profile with enhanced minerality and focus. There is wild cherry and dried currant, but ultimately more impactful are the elegant aromas of crushed stone. These give the wine brightness and vertical lift. The mouthfeel is medium- to full-bodied in texture with fine, powdery tannins that are well integrated. It is matured in Slavonian oak casks. You can cellar this wine longer, but you can also enjoy it in the medium term to take advantage of that pretty fruit freshness. Production is 12,000 bottles.

Lively aromas of raspberry and pomegranate meet with sumac, red flowers and wet forest fronds on the nose of this bottling. The palate combines flavors of dried and liquified cherry along with cola and toasted sage elements that are slightly sour. — Matt Kettmann

A bright, floral- and red berry–driven red, featuring rose, strawberry, cherry and wild herb flavors. This is elegant, yet with a firm base of well-integrated tannins. Shows fine harmony and length. Best from 2026 through 2042.

The Cascina Adelaide 2020 Barolo 4 Vigne is made with fruit from four sites (Preda in Barolo, Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, Fossati in La Morra and Pernanno in Castiglione Falletto). The wine is perfumed and intense with tart plum, pressed rose with the bitter part of the petal, smoke and cured tobacco. The heat of the 2020 vintage has transferred that extra power to the bouquet but also to the palate. The wine ends with young and very tight tannins.

A fixed point of the typology, coming from the south-east quadrant of the denomination and a valuable processing protocol. Nose with basil, notes of red mulberry, then wild sage and touches of green olives; salty palate, with officinal memory and floral sensations.

98 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Enticing aromas of red cherries, dried strawberries and hints of plums, cedar, sandalwood and balsamic. Medium-bodied with a tight and rich center palate and a chewy and powerful finish. This needs time to come together and soften slightly. Best after 2029.

Aromas of new leather, spiced black plum, violet and camphor unfold on the bold and beautiful 2021 Brunello Pianrosso. Combining power and restraint, the full-bodied palate delivers layers of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and fine tobacco blend before a spiced orange zest close. Velvety, enveloping tannins provide seamless support. Drink 2029–2041. Abv: 15%

97 Peter Moser - Falstaff

Bright ruby ​​with a pronounced garnet hue. Open and accessible nose, opens with notes of dark cherries, raspberries and some plums, with spicy cedar wood in the background. Full-bodied and intense on the palate, shows plenty of robust tannins, still brittle and slightly warming on the finish, still needs a long aging period.

Dark and richly textured, this expression opens with ripe fruit nuances, sweet plum and baking spice. The Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso is unapologetic about ripeness and the more concentrated side of Sangiovese, a style reinforced by the warm growing conditions of the vintage and the naturally powerful Pianrosso site. There is so much richness and phenolic texture here that it recalls warm years such as 2017 or 2019. The tannins are soft, the alcohol is high at 15.5%, and production stands at 43,000 bottles, including larger formats.
