| Description: | Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points - "a more saturated ruby color compared to 2018, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino opens to notes of blood orange, balsamic herbs, ripe blackberries, candied licorice, and lavender. Quite compelling, it more closely resembles the estates 2015 than their 2016, with a more robust feel. Offering rich velvety tannins, good mineral undertones, and a clean finish, its more full-bodied, with a long finish, and has wonderful freshness throughout.". "In 1965, Gemma Marcuccis grandparents purchased land across the road from Soldera - Case Basse, and their first vintage of Brunello was released in 1974. Besides their 24 acres of forest and three acres of olive groves, they have eight acres (roughly three hectares) of vineyards in front of the winery that face southwest in an amphitheater and are surrounded by forest. Since the beginning, they have focused on the original property and have not expanded, but they have regularly made upgrades to the winery. With an average annual production of 10,000 bottles a year, they are one of the smallest producers in the region. While Gemma studied art history in college, her father retired from his job in banking in 2002 and kept the winery going, giving Gemma the space and time to learn in the winery and the vineyard. Two years later, she decided to become a farmer and dedicate herself to the land and the winery." |
