Packed with cherry and raspberry fruit, this red also exhibits rose, mineral and Mediterranean scrub aromas and flavors. Coiled tightly, picking up eucalyptus and gripping tannins on the finish.

Aromas of dark berries, light caramel, coffee, balsamic, smoke and dried strawberries follow through to a medium body with firm, chewy tannins and lots of new oak. Yet, it turns crisp and lively at the finish. Needs three or four years to open. Try after 2028.

Showing notable volume and a velvety, approachable texture, the Fanti 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a dusty mineral note that gives way to dark fruit and blackcurrant. The wine carries a powerful 15.5% alcohol content, lending warmth and weight, yet a soft, contemporary mouthfeel makes it accessible despite firm tannins that will guide its evolution with modest cellar aging. Fruit is sourced from roughly 10 hectares on galestro-rich soils, with aging carried out over 30 months in barrique followed by six months in bottle. Production totals 50,000 bottles.
