Adagio Brunello di Montalcino 2020
On the nose, Adagio delivers a nuanced bouquet of wild cherry, red plum, and dried herbs with hints of leather, tobacco leaf, and sweet spice. The palate is generous yet distinctly Brunello—medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine, persistent tannins. Flavors of Morello cherry and raspberry are complemented by earth, clove, and anise, leading to a long, savory finish where mineral tones and gentle oak spice linger. This is a wine built for both early enjoyment and further cellaring.
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
The nose pops with the tang of bing cherry, cranberry, hibiscus, blood orange and new leather. Those notes all continue on the palate, before a warm, spicy finish where polished, smooth tannins anchor a river of acid.
92 Points - James Suckling
Fresh style to this wine with bright, ripe black-cherry character. Lots of violets also on the nose, as well as a hint of camphor. The attack is quite austere with firm tannins, medium to full body and a refreshing finish. Needs time for better integration. Try after 2025.
