2020 IL Colle di Carli Brunello di Montalcino

Il Colle wines express Brunello's original force and structure without the lifeless severity of certain traditionalists or the luxurious anonymity of some modernists — a testament to the Montalcino slopes and the legendary Giulio Gambelli's guiding philosophy. Certified organic, aged four years in barrel before release. The 2020 opens with ripe woodland berry, violet, and wild herb, while the palate delivers juicy Morello cherry, grilled rosemary, and baking spice — taut, refined tannins and bright acidity providing impeccable balance. A late-release legend worth every year of the wait.

Pairs perfect with dishes of the region - bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or aged Pecorino di Pienza.
