Brunello is a red wine of great power and elegance, the ultimate expression of Sangiovese.
Simply stunning, evocative deep purple, with black fruited aromas, a hint of tar and the classic lift of white pepper.
“Sour cherries, licorice, lemon verbena and balsamic on the nose. There’s lavender and sandalwood, too. So much pure sangiovese character with tangy acidity and juicy sour and savory hints carrying this wine long. Firm, grippy tannins that are at the forefront for now. Give it a few years.
"Flamboyant and Opulent" Antonio Galloni, Vinous (on the 2019). Available In Bond or Duty Paid.

Jancis robinson 16++ points: Lustrous mid ruby. Deep, brooding, sweet cherry on the nose. Succulent, if a little austere right now, but with plenty of potential. (WS)

Wine Safari Score: 94/100 Greg Sherwood MW: This is another beautifully expressive Chenin Blanc from warm granitic mountain slopes in the Swartland region.

Wine Safari score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: I approached this new wine with a little trepidation as I know all too well from previous experience that Ian Naude’s wines always need a few years in bottle to settle in and really start to fan their peacock tail.

CEPPARELLO 2020 17++ points – Walter Speller, May 2023, JancisRobinson.com : Dark ruby. Enticing, lifted, rich cherry laced with the perfect dose of oak. Polished, full, concentrated and supple on the palate; suave and long, with finely ground tannins woven into the succulent fruit.

96 points Susan Hulme MW TWI “The 2017 Biondi Santi Brunello has a lightly fragrant oak nose with notes of cream and vanilla and cherry. The weight is beautifully ethereal with a little of that weightless quality that you find in very fine wines.
