In the vineyard: Lodolaio comes from pure Sangiovese grapes obtained from the reproduction through mass selection of vines of very ancient origin, in a soil composed mainly of marl and alberese. The year 2016 was characterized by constant heat, without excessive peaks, which helped the ripening of the grapes.

94 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers sweet fruit with lots of bright cherry and redcurrant. This Brunello reveals medium-rich concentration and an opulent mouthfeel with a smooth or almost creamy quality of fruit.

Fattoi's Rosso di Montalcino comes from Sangiovese grapes, left to refine for a few months in oak barrels. The bouquet offers notes of small red fruits and morello cherries, while on the palate it is dry and persuasive, with a beautiful freshness and excellent persistence.

95/100, Greg Sherwood MW, A Fine Wine Safari. "Meerlust Rubicon is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s greatest wine ambassadors. If you have not tasted it yet, you are indeed missing out on one of the great Bordeaux blends produced in the Cape."
San Polino’s classic and characteristically delicate Brunello di Montalcino is from 5 hectares in the northeast of the appellation, on deep clay soils.
2019 saw a cold winter with some snow, but rarely sub-zero temperatures. When spring came it gave a dry March and adequate rain in April and May.
Brunello is a red wine of great power and elegance, the ultimate expression of Sangiovese.
