Frescobaldi 2020 Brunello di Montalcino

The Frescobaldi family has been producing wine in Tuscany for over 700 years and is one of Italy’s most historic and respected wine producers. With estates across the region, Frescobaldi combines deep tradition with modern viticultural and winemaking practices, focusing on expressing the identity of each appellation. Brunello di Montalcino is made exclusively from Sangiovese grown around the hilltop town of Montalcino. The 2020 vintage benefited from a relatively balanced growing season, producing wines with ripe fruit, refined tannins, and good aromatic clarity.
