95 -James Suckling -

Fascinating aromas of red cherries, orange blossoms and lilacs, with fresh undertones of mushrooms and forest floor. Medium-bodied with silky tannins that caress your palate and give a graceful impression of the vintage. So attractive now that you’ll want to drink it right away, but it will improve beautifully with age. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

94 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

The organic Tassi 2021 Brunello di Montalcino highlights freshness with purple fruit tones, blue flowers and subtle minty accents carried over silky tannins. Within the Tassi range, this village Brunello sits a step above the Rosso di Montalcino Greppino 193 and below the single-vineyard wines, offering clarity, balance and slightly more power derived from maceration times lasting 20 days. Fermented in a combination of cement and oak before two years of aging in botti, the wine blends fruit from multiple parcels to deliver an accessible, mid-weight expression, produced in 12,800 bottles.

93 -Vinous -

Dried herbs and cedar spice box complicate mocha-infused black cherries as the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass. It’s soothingly round with vividly ripe red and blue fruits supported by cooling acidity, while hints of dark chocolate inform the close. Fine-grained tannins frame the finish as nuances of citrus and mocha linger along. It’s radiant and beautifully balanced.

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 95-point 2021 brings red cherries, purple plums, and mocha, with tantalizing hits of dried herbes de Provence, violets, dark chocolate shavings, and earthy mushrooms, with a juicy and spicy finish replete with velvety smooth tannins. 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 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.
