Intense, vibrant aromas of strawberries and raspberries, together with cola and flowery notes. Milk and mint nuances, too. Shows a lot of licorice elegance and blood-orange freshness on both the nose and palate with firm, velvety tannins and well-packed, brilliant acidity and a polished finish. Good aftertaste and amazing potential. Very classic. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

A bright orange/red color the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Pianorosso is very pretty on the nose with notes of pomegranate roses potpourri sweet herbs and a hint of menthol. Medium-framed it's elegant and harmonious with a weightless feel ripe and chalky tannins and a clean balanced finish. I think it will gain depth and complexity as it matures but it sure is lovely to check in with now. Drink 2026-2046. Reviewed By: Audrey Frick

Freshly split pine tobacco and stone dust gives way to dried strawberries and mint nuances as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso slowly blossoms in the glass. Silken and serene this excels through its acidity cool-toned and fresh enlivening the 2020s core of rich wild berry fruits. Hints of blood orange add further gravitas as it finishes with a surprisingly juicy character leaving edgy tannins and a pleasantly bitter concentration. This wild child will require cellaring to come fully into focus yet I'm incredibly excited to revisit it in another three to five years. - By Eric Guido on November 2023
