Rosso di Montalcino, Gianni Brunelli 2024
Red Wine from Italy - Tuscany
In 2024 this again feels very much like a miniature Brunello, offering a fine introduction to Montalcino’s Sangiovese. The perfume opens with cherry and cranberry, joined by subtle leather notes. Medium-bodied and finely textured, it shows bright red-berry vibrancy and polished tannins, carrying through to a long, elegant finish marked by real finesse.

Gianni Brunelli
Gianni Brunelli, from an old Montalcino family as the name implies, was able to buy back his small family estate, just below Montalcino, in 1988. He had been running the most simpatico restaurant in Siena, Le Logge, just off the Piazza del Campo, with such success that he could subsequently afford, in 1996, to add another five hectares on a prize site on the other side south of the town.
The wine he subsequently was able to make is a beautifully balanced Brunello, which combines finesse and power. It is pure sangiovese made in traditional Slavonian oak ‘botti’, but with a thoroughly modern approach to conserving the fruit. Sadly he died in 2008, but the winery continues to produce delicious wine under the direction of his diminutive but equally charismatic wife, Laura, who will be known to all members who have attended our annual Italian tastings.
The estate’s Brunello can age for a couple of decades and is often a favourite amongst critics and enthusiasts alike.
