#44 Vinous Top 100 of 2025 The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli displays a bright red/orange-tinged color and is bright with notes of pomegranate, raspberries, tangerine, dusty earth, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, it's elegant and refined, with ultra-fine tannins, even acidity, and a floating feel that's balanced and never austere. A very pretty wine, it has a haunting perfume on the back palate and is delicious now, although it should age gracefully over the next two decades. The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is dreamy, with a darkly floral bouquet that blends dried rose and violet with hints of sour cherry, blackberry and Tuscan dust. This is silky-smooth and round in feel, with fresh acidity that adds a lovely lift as vibrant wild berry fruits swirl throughout. Tactile mineral tones add traction as the 2020 finishes long and staining, with a coating of fine-grained tannins that gently tug at the palate. This is a radiant and generous Montosoli with the balance necessary to mature beautifully in the cellar. There's no doubt that Vigna Montosoli is the hottest vineyard site in the appellation at the moment, and it remains virtually impossible to purchase land in this prized subzone. The Canalicchio di Sopra 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli has a distinct character with reinforced concentration and bold black fruit flavors. I get a hint of Turkish coffee and sweet earth. The bouquet also reveals a mineral side with petrichor, iron ore and peat moss. Of the new releases in this portfolio, I think you will find this wine to be the most complete and age-worthy. Sadly, only 4,133 bottles were created.Rating: 96+
