Guided by James, Vicky and Vito, join us for an exclusive tasting of Brunello di Montalcino 2020, a vintage that is already shaping up to be one of character and balance. The 2020 growing season in Montalcino was marked by a warm spring, followed by a hot summer. A well-timed September cooldown provided the perfect conditions for allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining their signature acidity, resulting in a wonderful harvest and wines of elegance, structure and ageing potential.

You’ll have the first opportunity to experience the 2020 Brunello in its early expression—deeply aromatic, with vibrant red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a core of minerality that promises longevity. A vintage that beautifully balances power and finesse, offering complexity even in its youth. This is your chance to secure allocations of a delightful Brunello vintage. Don’t miss this.
