Brunello di Montalcino
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Most LCBOs also have a solid selection of 2019/2020 Brunellos and both years were well regarded.
- I've bought some solid Brunello and Barbera in Italian grocery stores
- The Brunello is tasty.
- for Italian virtually any Brunello. I’ll bet both stores have those.
- a lot like Brunello, I think these really have the kind of wings to soar in that 15-20 year-old range.
Cons
- Brunello is a more extreme example of how just a couple of degrees can completely ruin a wine.
- I had a Brunello and trying to keep 17-18C but it just sky rockets to 22-24 so fast and becomes booze heavy and loosing taste.
- lots of old-world wines (barolo, brunello, bordeaux, even burgundy) are pretty rough in their youth. but they're peerless with age.

Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Bordeaux... Find a local bottle shop that has a good selection and ask this question.
Barolo/Barbaresco, Brunello or Napa for highest vintage quality.
