Spotlight On Brunello Vintage 2021

Cost: $75

Our Brunello Vintage 2020 class last year was one of season's tasting highlights. This year's look at Vintage 2021? Better. Actually, a lot better!

No need to take our word for it. Just reserve a place now at our Spotlight on Brunello 2021 Vintage class on Wednesday, September 23. We'll cover seven Brunello from across the zone, from some of the finest value producers in the region to a couple of the best-known, most sought-after, wines. Here's the tentative line-up:

• Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli 2021 (WA 97)
• Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2021 (WS 96)
• Castello di Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino 2021 (WA 96+)
• Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2021 (WA 96+)
• Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino 2021 (WA 95)
• San Giorgio Brunello Di Montalcino Ugolforte 2021 (WA94)
• Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli 2021 (Vin 94)

As you go through the wines, we think you'll agree with Monica Larner at Wine Advocate that Brunello 2021 is "a classically styled, cellar-worthy expression of Sangiovese, distinguished by freshness, structural clarity and elegance." And With Eric Guido at Vinous who gushed, "There is something magical about the 2021 Brunellos. The wines offer both near-term appeal and the balance to mature over the next 15 to 20 years. These are structured, youthfully tense wines, but it’s not difficult to find pleasure in them today.

The class will be in the downstairs classroom and include light snacks and plenty of great discussion. If your plans change, you can cancel your reservation for full refund up to 48 hours before the class. Just 30 seats available, so don't delay in grabbing yours.
