Padelletti - Brunello di Montalcino 2019

IN STOCK

There are few crafts in life that can command the attention and livelihood of 27 generations, but the Padelletti family has been caring for land in Montalcino since 1571. Documents and recovered labels have proven their presence in Montalcino from generation to generation, and their cellars are still located beneath the family’s 16th century home. From fathers to sons and mothers to daughters, each passing generation has held on strong to tradition, in fact - as a renowned wine journalist once claimed - “there are traditionalists and there is Padelletti.” They’ve never strayed far from aging in 30-hectoliter Slavonian botti nor has the reputable elegance and freshness of their wines varied, attributed to their high lying vineyards on the north side of town. The Padelletti family has paved much of the history of this outstanding winemaking region, and have changed very little in terms of their philosophy along the way: genuine care and respect for tradition plus deep respect for the environment.

Showing intensity and elegance, the delicious Padelletti 2019 Brunello is a stunner, starting with enticing aromas of dog rose, violet, forest berry, dark spice, crushed mint and a whiff of flint. On the linear, precise palate, a backbone of firm but refined tannins and bright acidity support juicy red cherry, orange zest, licorice and tobacco. Lay this down for several more years and you’ll be rewarded with even more complexity. 

"The Padelletti 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows hints of dried herb and ripe fruit over a nicely concentrated mouthfeel. This wine shows a classic fruit profile with bold cherry followed by underbrush, rose and earth all delivered over a mid-weight palate with fine tannins. This bottle gives you a very representative view onto Brunello and Sangiovese." - 94 Points, Robert Parker
