Decanter

My top three

Col d’Orcia Big can be beautiful, as this wine from about 100ha of organicall­y farmed vineyard to the southwest of Montalcino so ably demonstrat­es. Heady aromas, supple tannins. Approachab­le soon but will keep. 96 Drink 2020-2029

La Cerbaiola, Salvioni A perennial favourite. Very traditiona­l methods produce tiny quantities of just two wines: Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino. This has fabulous aromas and beautiful balance: for me the wine of the tasting. 96 Drink 2021-2028

Collematto­ni Rarely the most polished Brunello of the denominati­on, nonetheles­s its unpretenti­ous and pleasantly rustic style is often a breath of fresh air. Ripe and powerful, this is great value for money. 93 Drink 2021-2032
