Description
"The 2019 vintage in Brunello is getting endless accolades and the Estate’s 2020, when released, will reveal yet another superb gem. There is real complexity immediately obvious here – notes of tobacco leaves, cherries, coffee beans, hints of plums and florals, and plush cassis. A medium length style with fine tannins, the wine offers more elegance than one finds in almost any other 2019. This is already very appealing but in time, will really shine. Ten or twelve years with ease. Matthew has requested that visiting writers do not attach scores to his wines, so we will respect that, although it would have been high.” - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot (visited Cerbaiona and tasted the Brunello in September 2023)
"Deep, complex and graceful, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino entices with a cascade of blue and purple flowers, black cherries and hints of Tuscan spice. This is a radiant effort, with a tinge of tangerine up front that gives way to ripe red and black fruits propelled by tantalizing acidity. The 2019 tapers off long and staining, leaving a coating of fine tannins to flex their structural muscle as traces of black raspberry fade slowly. This is a soulful Brunello from start to finish. Beautifully done." - Eric Guido, Vinous
