The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with a dark and dusty bouquet as dried flowers and crushed stone give way to red currants. It’s soft textured with tactile mineral tones up front, adding a crunchy character to the tart wild berry fruits within. The 2019 finishes long and staining, leaving a tinge of balsamic spice and a liquid stone sensation that mellows over a bed of fine tannins. This is a brighter style for Mocali, and I like it quite a bit.

The Mocali 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle Raunate carries lots of thick fruit weight that wraps over the palate in its entirety. There are hints of candied cherry, raspberry confit and baked plum. These dark fruit nuances give lift and verticality to the bouquet, but the wine is otherwise very broad and rich in terms of mouthfeel.
93 Wine Spectator
Though tightly wound, there's a core of concentrated cherry and plum to this red, along with accents of earth, tobacco and rosemary. Fresh and balanced, leaving a layer of fine tannins on the extended finish. Best from 2027 through 2042. 4,200 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.
