Tenimenti Ricci Brunello di Montalcino 2020 750ml

Ida and Ferruccio Ricci farm twenty hectares around Sant'Angelo in Colle, a medieval hilltop village in the south of Montalcino, and this 2020 Brunello comes from that family land.

The Ricci family has worked the farm for roughly two centuries. Their vines run from the slopes below the village down to the first foothills along the Orcia river, and Sangiovese makes up most of the planting.

In the restored cellar at Podere il Casello, the wine ferments and then matures in Slavonian oak casks before resting in bottle. Brunello rules demand at least two years in wood, so the 2020 could not be sold until January 2025.

Expect plenty of warm spice in this vintage, cinnamon and clove in particular, wrapped in the influence of the wood.

Choose the Banfi Brunello 2020 for a widely known benchmark from the same year; pick this bottle when you want a small family estate's view of Sant'Angelo in Colle.

Decant it an hour ahead; serve around 63°F in a large glass. Bistecca, braised short ribs or aged pecorino stand up to its tannin. Browse more Tuscan reds. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
