Ripe berry, violet and baking spice aromas emerge from the glass along with a whiff of mint. Elegant and savory, the bright, polished palate features juicy red cherry, raspberry compote and star anise accompanied by taut, refined tannins and tangy acidity. It has great youthful tension and can be enjoyed now or over the next several years. Drink through 2028.

A smoky mix of wild herbs, crushed rocks, young strawberries and rose petals wafts up from the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino. It's seamlessly silky with nuances of candied citrus and bright cherry fruits that light up the palate, as exotic inner florals amass toward the close. The 2020 maintains energy throughout, finishing remarkably fresh yet also potent and long. This is one of the most elegant vintages I've yet experienced from the Le Chiuse Rosso, but watch out for its 14.5% abv. that can easily sneak up on you.

A bright, spicy red, revealing cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Sleek and elegant, with a firm backbone and an excellent finish. Drink now through 2026.
