    Sandro Chia's remarkable 2020 vintage is taut, forward and downright bold in the glass. On the palate, it impresses with a lot of natural richness and beautiful opulence of fruit, complemented by varietal elements of wild cherry, blue flowers and soft earth. Secondary flavours of tobacco, cedar and cinnamon then quickly surprise, adding complexity and personality to the wine, which is built up in many deep layers. It has wonderful potential for further ageing in the bottle, but it is already an absolute delight and the quality of the fruit and its length make it irresistible. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is vividly fresh and focused, with a cascade of dried strawberries, minty herbs and shaved cedar forming its seductive bouquet. It is a paragon of purity, with silky textures and a graceful feel. It presents ripe red berry fruit accompanied by a tactile minerality. A gentle pull of fine tannins defines the finish. Notes of sour citrus fruits mingle with tart blackberries and liquorice." Vinous

    "The epitome of elegance that is impossible to resist now, it has a light, gentle quality without lacking intrigue or nuance. It benefits from its lovely freshness, and its gentle tannins are seamlessly integrated, merging with and shaping a core of delicate wild berries. Hints of orange peel and ginseng permeate the wine, and the finish is characterised by a spicy note." Decanter

    "The Brunello di Montalcino 2020 clearly stands out from its competitors, as it is characterised by its seamless mouthfeel, bright fruit concentration and balanced freshness. It is aged for 24 months in oak and the grapes are harvested from a site with cool clay soils. The finish is soft and polished. If you want to buy an Annata Brunello from the accessible 2020 vintage, I would recommend this wine." Wine Advocate
