My top three
Michael Garner
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
