The Tassi 2020 Brunello di Montalcino, in the bottle with the white label, offers loads of sweet fruit, blackberry and blackcurrant combined with cinnamon and allspice. You also get a spicy hint of black pepper. Sweet oak flavors permeate a softly textured finish. Like other wines from this vintage, this Brunello remains quite accessible and balanced overall. This is a release of 6,700 bottles.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is spicy and deeply complex, with an array of dried roses, wild strawberries, hints of white pepper and crushed stone. It’s round and soothing on the palate, with pretty violet-laced wild berry fruits and sweet spice, all motivated by a core of fresh acidity. This leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation, tapering off with medium length and freshness as rosy inner florals and an air of lavender linger on. The 2020 is already quite charming, with the balance for a long and open drinking window.

Fabio Tassi could effectively be the unofficial mayor of Montalcino. His wine shop is set inside Montalcino’s famed castle fortress, he owns two immensely popular restaurants, and that’s not even scratching the surface of his prized and breathtaking winery. His family has kept beehives in the area for generations, crafting world-class honey, and Fabio’s grandfather Guido Franci began his wine pursuits as a sharecropper for the legendary Biondi-Santi family in the 1920s. When Fabio took over the family business, he worked tirelessly to expand their land holdings, quickly building a reputation for some of the finest, most expressive Sangiovese ever known.

Then there’s the actual winery – a state-of-the-art, organic-certified facility opened in 2019 that’s built entirely out of laminated wood and operates on a gravity-fed system across two levels. No need for aggressive mechanical pumps, and they also utilize a natural perimeter ditch to regulate temperature. Careful design and thoughtful winemaking and farming is an apparent priority at every turn – and it unequivocally shows in this team’s immaculate wines.

The 96-point 2020 is pure silk in a bottle with blackberries, cherries, and red currants wrapped in blood orange, roasted sage, black pepper, cinnamon, and high-toned florals, with a minty lift and ultra-fine tannins. Woof, just so ridiculously good. Grab two and watch the price skyrocket down to JUST $60, with free shipping! Why does it all of a sudden feel like Christmas?! Just, go!

About The Producer

The Tassi company was founded by Guido Franci who worked as a sharecropper for the Biondi Santi family since he was a young boy in the early 1900s. Guido's other passion was beekeeping and making honey on the property as well. The family ran winery is now in the hands of Fabio Tassi, Guido's grandson, who continues the tradition of winemaking and the selling of honey as well as quality products of the territory. The facility is state of the art with a gravity flow system that limits the use of pumps in a winery. The estate has a state-of-the-art facility, combined with an exceptional hospitality experience and making fabulous wines under the beautiful Tuscany sun.
