The Wine Advocate 93/100
With cherrywood or cedar, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a savory, almost spicy side that follows garden herb, cola, dark cherry, plum and sweet cherry. The fruit is slightly baked or cooked with hints of road paving or smoky tar. This is a concentrated wine for sure, with fruit sourced from three sites: Collesorbo, Pian Bossolino and Giardinello. Production is 32,000 bottles. Drying tannins want a steak and polenta dinner.
La Fiorita has a terrific collection of vineyard parcels to mix and match when making the final blends. Grapes come from the southern part of the appellation from the 2.7-hectare Collesorbo site with clay and alluvial soils, from the schistic soils of Pian Bossolino on the eastern side of Montalcino, from the western side at Giardinello with sandy soils and marine sediments, or from the newly-acquired Osteriaccia Vineyard with 1.8-hectares of vines on the western side of the appellation.
