“The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Soccorso is darkly seductive with a rich blend of crushed plums, cedar shavings and cocoa lifted by mentholated herbs. This is round and supple with masses of ripe wild berry fruit and inner violet florals energized by brisk acidity. A wall of grippy tannins emerges through the finale, balanced by a staining of primary concentration as the Vigna Soccorso finishes structured and long. Patience will be required before this gentle giant shows its best.”

• Known to be the location of production for the very first wines from Montalcino labeled “Brunello”
• The label is a throwback to the original wines produced from this parcel in the 1800s which won awards in Marseilles and Bordeaux at the turn of the 20th century
