Fanti's Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is delicately flavoured, haunting floral and seductive from the first swirl of the glass. A hint of icing sugar gives way to bright cherries, candied oranges, mint leaves and lavender, creating an extrovert yet delicious picture. In the mouth, it is seamless and silky, with a subtle hint of citrus and vibrant acids introducing ripe red notes of black berries with herbs. Rounded tannins emerge on the finish with hints of liquorice and violets. As always, very well made. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fragrant, softly characterised bouquet with red berries, violets, hibiscus, backed by fine mineral notes. Quite round, melting and balanced in the mouth, very classic style, soft contours." Weinwisser

"Quite fresh, slightly smoky and dried floral to tobacco aromas of red and black berries with tomato notes, ethereal herbs, some leather and a hint of meat juice and iodine. Ripe, warm, somewhat plummy fruit, smoky to slightly roasted wood notes with nut tones, crumbly-sandy tannins, has power and good persistence, delicate acid bite, hints of tobacco ash in the background, a little café au lait, ethereal herbs and nutmeg with air, certain depth, very good finish with warm, ripe juice and smoky, roasted spice." Wein-Plus

"The Brunello di Montalcino 2020 opens in the glass with a burst of black cherries and raspberries, complemented by hints of autumnal spices and blood orange. It shows a silky texture and depth of ripe red and black fruits, taking on a crisper sensation of palpable minerals towards the finish. Long and intense, yet juicy and fresh, the 2020 finishes with a layer of angular tannins and a tart blackberry tone that leaves you wanting more." Vinous

"The Brunello di Montalcino 2020 from Fanti shows a dark core of black cherry and plum, framed by lighter tones of burnt fruit and tropical rum. The warmth and intensity of the vintage are evident both on the nose and in the glycerine-rich texture of the mouthfeel. The tannins are almost dissolved and finely textured." Wine Advocate

"A burst of fresh cherry, raspberry and plum fruit informs this vibrant, juicy red. Backed by a thick base of tannins, revealing equilibrium between all the components. Offers a fresh, peppery finish." Wine Spectator

"Filigree complexity with a multi-layered profile, including balsamic notes, not-so-obvious red cherries and dried fruit, liquorice, light camphor and fresh violets. Full-bodied and energetic on the palate, with firm, velvety tannins and a chalky finish. Crisp, integrated acidity. Rich and lively, despite a certain warmth." James Suckling
