Scopetone Brunello Di Montalcino 2017 750ml

“Podere Scopetone has come a long way since Loredana Tanganelli and Antonio Brandi took over the property a few years ago and began the process of untangling the effects of several years of neglect. With the help of consulting winemaker Maurizio Castelli, Tanganelli and Brandi are gradually rebuilding Scopetone’s reputation for excellence.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“One of Montalcino’s most underrated producers.”– Ian d’Agata, Vinous

"Luminous pale red. Classic Sangiovese aromas of red and dark berries, violet, blood orange and red licorice. Juicy and fresh, offering vibrant strawberry and candied violet flavors, with a jolt of liquid minerality on the back. Gains sweetness on the floral, long finish that features repeating blood orange notes. This doesn’t strike me as the most concentrated or memorable Brunello Scopetone has ever made (one of the best and yet most under the radar Brunello producers), but I do like this wine's balance and precision. Maybe I just caught it in an awkward phase.91+ points" Vinous Media
