Flavio Fanti, owner of the family estate La Palazzetta, represents one of Montalcino's elite sources of limited-production Brunello, a full-bodied red wine that comes from the sun-drenched hillsides of the area.

La Palazzetta's 2021 Brunello is a certified organic expression of pure Sangiovese that captures Tuscany's storied terroir in every glass. Bold yet elegant, this 14.5% ABV red offers layers of dark cherry, leather, and earthy spice, all supported by structured tannins built for the long haul.

Pouring a bright red/orange hue, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive on the nose with notes of smoky incense, cranberries, orange peel, and dried Mediterranean herbs. The palate is elegant and medium-bodied, with focused intensity, refreshing acidity, and finely coiled tannins, and its more floral side comes through on the graceful finish. It’s a nicely detailed Brunello with a fresh, lifted feel. Drink 2026-2040.
