La Fiorita Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 

Tuscany, Italy

750 ml

95 pts. Wine Spectator:

"Black cherry and blackberry fruit occupy center stage in this dense, muscular red. Beefy tannins provide support, while vibrant acidity keeps this lively and long on the finish, where iron, tomato leaf and Tuscan scrub add detail. All of the components are there; this just needs time. Best from 2030 through 2048. 2,600 cases made, 1,200 cases imported."

94 pts. James Suckling:

"Herbal, showing red berries, lavender and stony austerity. Crunchy, linear and medium-bodied, with focused tannins. Wonderful precision and tension throughout. Drink or hold."
