The grapes for the Fornace come from a vineyard high in the hills of Castelnuovo dell'Abate. It is only vinified separately in the best vintages in a small production run of around 3,000 bottles. In the glass, Fornace presents itself with a saturated, dark garnet-red colour. It makes a great first impression, which is enhanced by the depth and intensity of its flavours. Its personality is slender, refined and noble. This wine eschews the classic primary flavours of red and purple fruit, instead composing a beautiful symphony of spices, balsamic herbs and camphor ash. A wonderful wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Clearly perfumed, with dusty-mineral and wonderfully floral notes, supple elegance, clearly characterised by minerality, subtle, rich in finesse, red fruits, highly elegant structure, silky texture, salty-silky final." Weinwisser

"Berry-balsamic perfume with well-integrated spicy notes; accessible on the palate, the tannins are tightly meshed and in balance with the firm acidity, fruity, light-footed final. Pleasing with its harmonious structure." Vinum

"Crushed ash stones, grilled herbs, underbrush and a hint of smoke define the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Fornace. It's soft and round, with more black than red fruit and a core of cool acidity that maintains balance, while blood orange and salty minerals saturate. The 2020 finishes with a minty freshness that contrasts with the angular tannins and a light citrus note that gives it a nice complexity." Vinous

"The Brunello di Montalcino Fornace 2020 comes from a vineyard at an altitude of 380 metres, not far from Mastrojanni. The site was once located at the bottom of an ancient seabed, resulting in round limestone rocks. This theme of "roundness" carries over to the palate, where the wine offers layers of lush and supple fruit. Only 3,000 bottles were produced." Wine Advocate
