Verbena - 2021 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Produced in the rolling hills of Montalcino, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Verbena is an elegant and expressive interpretation of Sangiovese that balances power, freshness, and remarkable finesse. The warm yet balanced 2020 vintage delivered wines with vibrant fruit, polished tannins, and early approachability while still preserving the structure and longevity expected from great Brunello.

Brilliant garnet ruby in colour, the nose opens with aromas of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose, and violet layered alongside notes of tobacco, cedar, balsamic herbs, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, the wine is refined and beautifully balanced, showing silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive purity of fruit. Flavours of sour cherry, plum, orange peel, licorice, and Mediterranean herbs unfold gradually into a long savoury and mineral-driven finish.

Compared to more powerful Brunello vintages, the 2020 vintage leans slightly more toward elegance and drinkability while still maintaining excellent depth and aging potential.

Perfect with roasted meats, bistecca alla Fiorentina, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses, and rich Tuscan cuisine.
