Organic/Bio Since its debut in the 2003 vintage, Ciacci’s Brunello “Normale” has established itself as one of Montalcino’s greatest values – and finest wines!  The fruit for this bottling comes from estate vineyards near the winery plus younger vines from the famed Pianrosso site.  This is a bit more structured than in some vintages, so give it a decant or a couple of years to unwind.

Vinous captures the wine well in the 93 point review, "The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore, with a burst of crushed plums and black cherries accentuated by sweet herbs, hints of tobacco and wilted violets. It's round and supple with dark red fruits, autumnal spices that swirl throughout and a hint of cocoa that embellishes the close. Despite its depth and concentration, the 2020 maintains energy while coming across as wonderfully refined, leaves fine-grained tannins to resonate beneath an air of lavender and mocha."

For You If:   You love big, bold, Brunello - this is a full15% abv - with plenty of youthful grip that stays nicely elegant and long even drunk young.

Not For You If:   You're looking for a lighter expression of Sangiovese Grosso from Montalcino or are after something to drink tonight pop-n-pour - this need a couple of hours of air now or 2-3 years in cellar for the tannins to integrate.
