San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino 2019

San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino 2019

A refined and expressive Brunello from one of Montalcino’s most quietly impressive estates, San Filippo 2019 captures the balance, purity, and aromatic clarity of this outstanding vintage. Sourced from hillside vineyards near the town of Montalcino, the wine reflects meticulous vineyard work and a modern-classic approach focused on precision and terroir expression.

The nose is vibrant and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and plum accented by rose petal, orange zest, and subtle sweet spice. Hints of tobacco, cedar, and crushed stone add depth. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity that provide lift and structure. Flavors of red and dark fruit, savory herbs, and mineral nuances unfold into a long, harmonious finish.

More structured and age-worthy than many recent releases, the 2019 San Filippo Brunello balances power and elegance, offering both immediate appeal with decanting and excellent long-term potential.
