Blueberries and berries with some floral components on the nose. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. A little light for the vintage. Drink or hold.

Savory cinnamon spices, cooked oranges and berries follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with some firm, lightly grainy tannins. Juicy and savory finish. Better in a year or two.

A lacy red, showing aromas and flavors of sweet red berry fruit, rose, truffle, game and mineral backed by firm yet refined tannins, with a lingering finish. Approachable now with food, but will be better in a year or two. Best from 2024 through 2039. 5,830 cases made, 2,650 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

A rich, open-knit red, with mingling macerated cherry, plum and spice flavors. Picks up a hint of black pepper and mineral on the finish. Fine balance, if lacking a bit of energy and grip. Drink now through 2030. 10,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Val di Suga usually produces a three-part series of single-vineyard wines (Vigna Spuntali, Poggio al Granchio and Vigna del Lago), but these wines were not produced in this challenging vintage. Instead, the estate's best fruit was directed to the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is a balanced expression, with blue and purple fruits, cola, earth and dried flowers spread over a lean, compact finish. This production of 50,000 bottles is hitting the market now.
