Brunello di Montalcino 2021
“There is something magical about the 2021 Brunellos... a triumph for Montalcino”
Eric Guido, Vinous
We are excited to launch our 2021 Brunello di Montalcino campaign offering the spectacular new releases from the following leading estates:
2021 | Vintage Overview
For a vintage that produced such great results the 2021 growing season certainly had its challenges and complexities.
A wet winter built up healthy water reserves, especially in the clay rich soils to the north east of Montalcino. This was to be vital for the summer months. A severe frost on the nights of 7th and 8th April, following a period of unseasonably mild temperatures, affected the buds that had appeared prematurely in low lying areas, both to the south and north with many growers suffering losses between 25-40%. However, according to Francesco Ripaccoli at one of our favourite estates, Canalicchio di Sopra, this acted as "Mother Nature’s green harvest" as there was then sufficient water in the soil to feed a reduced amount of bunches over the hot July and August period. Well timed rains towards the end of August and into September, and importantly cool nights, also played their part in preserving the acidity levels in the wines. In the lead up to the harvest, conditions remained moderate alternating warm days and cool nights allowing the fruit to reach optimum ripeness.
Ultimately the success of 2021 is a testament to the hard work, diligence and dedication of the growers in the vineyards.
Montalcino Classifications
Brunello di Montalcino 2021
Sangiovese (known locally as Brunello) is the only permissible grape variety. In order for a wine to become a fully-fledged Brunello, DOCG rules legislate that a minimum of 2 years must be spent in oak with a further 4 months in bottle. Whilst many age their wines for considerably longer (36-42 months), there is currently a trend appearing amongst the leading growers to reduce this in order to preserve freshness and tension in the wines.
A Brunello is eligible for release onto the market on 1st January, five years after the harvest.
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
The Rosso classification has become one of profound importance to the region, offering the perfect expression of each estate for drinking at a younger age. The best growers designate specific vineyard sites for the production of Rosso and consequently the quality level has reached new heights. A Rosso is released onto the market after only twelve months of ageing in stainless steel or oak. Rossos from the leading estates generally start at around £22 per bottle compared to a Brunello at £45+. The heightened quality of this category has hugely shifted our focus towards Rosso over the last 5 years.
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2020
Released at the same time as the 2021 Brunello, we will only be offering the most compelling 2020 Riservas. In all but the greatest vintages, a further six months in barrel rarely elevates the wines to such a superior level that it justifies the increase in price. This year look out for Il Marroneto’s Madonna delle Grazie Riserva (100 points) and of course Poggio di Sotto’s Riserva (98+ points), both of which are knockout examples.
CANALICCHIO DI SOPRA
Francesco Ripaccioli is one of Montalcino’s most dynamic and progressive young winemakers. His grandfather Primo Pacenti founded the estate in 1962 and in 1967 Canalicchio di Sopra became one of the twelve founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. The estate’s 19 hectares lie to the northeast of the town and are split between the enviable Montosoli and Canalicchio ‘crus’ which offer optimal airflow, unique exposure, and a selection of differing microclimates. Canalicchio’s wines are amongst the benchmarks for purity and elegance.
Firmly established amongst the elite of Montalcino, Canalicchio di Sopra’s 2021s are superlative examples of the vintage. Although the April frost affected some of the estate’s lower vineyards reducing volumes by 30%, the quality of fruit is truly exceptional and this year their single vineyard Vigna Montosoli has produced one the vintage’s most compelling Brunellos. The estate’s flagship wine is of course their 2021 Brunello di Montalcino and the grapes for this are sourced 50/50 from both the Montosoli and Canalicchio vineyards and give a brilliant interpretation of the vintage.
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
£105.00 per 6 bottles IB
Canalicchio’s Rosso is the perfect entry point and essentially the calling card for the estate’s Brunello di Montalcino, offering sumptuous purity and elegance in a deliciously approachable style. The 2024 opens with red cherry, pomegranate and cranberry whilst boasting notes of dark plum, violet and spice. Soft, fine tannins flow across the palate balanced by splashes of juicy vibrant fruit and fresh herbs. If there’s a better value Rosso on the market we are yet to see it. Drink 2027 - 2033.

"Delicious and loaded with finesse, the smooth palate offers strawberry compote, red cherry, licorice and crushed mint accompanied by taut, refined tannins." 96 points. Kerin O'Keefe
A worthy contender for one of the ‘annata’ wines of the vintage, the 2021 is racy and explosive in the glass. Waves of dark cherry, wild strawberry and mineral tones cascade across the palate with subtle citrus flavours adding vibrancy and energy. There is lovely concentration to the fruit and a fine structure that brings everything together. This is an unmissable Brunello that will need a minimum of 3 years in the cellar and drink well in to the late 2030s. Do not miss!
Drink 2030 - 2040. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
CANALICCHIO DI SOPRA | THE SINGLE VINEYARDS
Fifteen years of painstaking soil and clonal research into each of the vineyard sites at Canalicchio di Sopra revealed several unique micro-terroirs, which led Francesco to produce two single vineyard Brunellos: La Casaccia, first released in 2015, and Vigna Montosoli, launched in 2018. La Casaccia’s calcerous clay-rich soils give phenomenal texture and an opulent feel. Vigna Montosoli’s galestro soils showcase a more mineral, saline style; a wine of elegance, complexity and longevity.

"This is an understated yet deeply complex beauty, and easily one of the wines of the vintage."
98 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
The Montosoli will undoubtedly be regarded as one of the successes of 2021. This is a multidimensional wine that will require extensive cellaring. Violet, Morello cherry and rosemary and sage scents lead to a saline, stony, mineral rich yet firm palate. This is a complex Brunello of the highest order and an outstanding example of the vintage. Drink 2030 - 2045.
Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
GIANNI BRUNELLI
Former Sienese restaurateurs, Gianni and Laura Brunelli established this wonderful 7-hectare estate in 1987 following the death of Gianni’s father. Together they quickly developed a reputation for producing some of the most impressive Brunellos in the region as well as an outstanding Rosso.
The Brunellis have always been fervent exponents of organic viticulture, steering clear of herbicides and chemicals, with the belief that a conscientious hands-on approach in the vineyard is key to producing high-quality wines. Yields are deliberately kept low, and the grapes are hand-harvested in order to guarantee the quality of fruit. Sadly, Gianni passed away unexpectedly in 2008, however Laura continues to uphold her husband’s philosophy of winemaking, whilst bringing her own distinctive style to the wines. The 2021 is a scintillating example of the vintage; intense and harmonious with superb balance.
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
£155.00 per 6 bottles IB

This 2024 is exquisitely floral scented with fresh peonies, violets and rose. Sweet, bright red cherry and mouthwatering blood orange fruit are framed by a vibrant acidity and softly textured tannins. The finish is lifted and has a pleasing, salty mineral edge. This is as grown up a Rosso as they come and one that will give many a Brunello a run for its money. Drink 2028 - 2035.

"The drop-dead gorgeous Gianni Brunelli stopped me in my tracks with its stunning fragrance of freshly picked violet, iris, forest berry, leather and eucalyptus...it also promises years of graceful aging. Hats off to Laura Brunelli and her team." 100 points. Kerin O'Keefe
Intense flavours of Morello cherry, blood orange, wild red berries and spice mingle in this 2021 masterpiece. A Brunello of overwhelming purity and refinement that shows a fine structure and will be one to cellar for several years. An exceptional 2021 from Laura Brunelli. Drink 2031 - 2045. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
IL MARRONETO
The Il Marroneto estate, situated just below the walls of Montalcino to the north east, produces world class Sangiovese. Here the altitude and exposure to the winds from the north combine to produce wines of scintillating complexity and minerality. Winemaker Alessandro Mori, pictured with his son Iacopo, was described as "the Sangiovese whisperer" by Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate due to his incredible ability to produce almost weightless wines of innate beauty rather than power. These 2021s are simply sensational, as is the incredibly rare release of the 2000 Madonna delle Grazie Riserva in magnum.

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with an exotic blend of crushed sour cherries and dried violets complemented by cedar spice box and nuances of incense. It is seamless and silken in feel, displaying notable weight while also coming across as graceful and refined, with a remarkably pretty blend of wild strawberries and a crunch of minerality. A raspberry sauce concentration and sour citrus twang remain as edgy tannins linger, offset by a bump of riveting acidity. This is a fantastic vintage for Il Marroneto's Brunello, here taking on a level of complexity and concentration I usually associate with the Madonna delle Grazie." Drink 2030 - 2046.

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie dazzles with a beguiling display of dried strawberries, spiced blood orange, cinnamon, mint and crushed stones. It is harmonious throughout, with textures of pure silk, a subtle inner sweetness and tantalizing acidity that offsets its penetrating core of tart cherry and blackberry. The 2021 leaves a chewy sensation and an array of sweet tannins that pinch at the cheeks as an air of rosy inner florals mixes with hints of Earl Grey and spice. In 2021, Madonna delle Grazie has taken on a whole new identity, relying more on beauty than power." Drink 2020 - 2046. 98 points. Eric Guido, Vinous

"The incredibly complex 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie Riserva takes its time evolving in the glass, drawing you in with nuances of black tea, incense and allspice. Further swirling invokes depths of dried black cherry, ashen stones and cinnamon. This is a textural masterpiece, weighty yet graceful, penetrating, tart and intense, all balanced by radiant acidity as masses of red fruit envelop the senses. The 2020 leaves the palate stained with primary concentration, finishing structured and long with the silkiest tannins imaginable. A tinge of pomegranate and clove fades over the course of a minute or more. Deceivingly approachable yet harmonious and balanced for the long haul, the 2020 Madonna delle Grazie Riserva is one of the most captivating wines I've ever tasted from Montalcino." Drink 2029 - 2046. 100 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
MASTROJANNI | NEW
In 1975, the south eastern zone of Montalcino was wild and untamed, a terrain largely untouched by anyone but local farmers. With the stunning backdrop and protection of the Monte Amiata and the Orcia river winding its way through the valley, Gabriele Mastrojanni recognised the potential here. He identified certain soil types that would offer a definitive expression of the Sangiovese grape and from here the Mastrojanni estate was born. Since 2008 the estate has been in the hands of the Illy group (of coffee fame) who have invested heavily. Their ethos embraces nature, the eco system and sustainability with everything designed in be in total harmony with the environment. In the cellar the wines are aged in traditional large oak barrels for 36 months prior to a further 6 months in bottle.
Having visited the estate several times over the last few years, we feel that the 2021 vintage is the perfect moment to share this excellent producer with you.
Brunello di Montalcino 2021
£240.00 per 6 bottles IB
"Complex and shapely... notes of cassis, dark cherry, spice, grenadine and grilled watermelon... finishing with a subtle mineral saltiness that adds lift and definition."
95 points. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
Firm and taut at this early stage, but time in the glass reveals an intense sweet core of dark cherry, raspberry, tobacco and blood orange. The tannins are fine and supported by plenty of fresh acidity. There is a lovely balance to this 2021 and it will prove to be highly enjoyable around 3 years from now. Drink 2029 - 2036. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto 2021
£220.00 per 3 bottles IB
"Beautifully contoured and immediately expressive... tendency toward openness and floral lift rather than sheer power." 97 points. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
The 1.5 hectare south east facing Loreto vineyard sits at an elevation of 350 metres on sandy, pebbly soils. Highly expressive, waves of floral aromas lift from the glass with the palate offering up sweet dark cherry, blackberry and a citrus twang with lots of freshness and energy. This finely structured Loreto will require 5 years of cellaring to reveal its incredible potential.
Drink 2028 - 2038. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
IL PALAZZONE | NEW
We are delighted to introduce Il Palazzone, an estate that we have been following closely for the last few years. Located just to the south west of Montalcino (perched above Le Potazzine) this small estate sits at altitudes between 400 metres and the legal limit of 600. Its beautiful, lofty location captures the cool breezes of the famous Tramontana wind from the north reducing temperatures at night allowing the grapes to retain all of their natural energy and freshness in hot weather. The philosophy here is very traditional. Picking and sorting are by hand and the elevage takes place in large 50hl wooden barrels that support the lengthy ageing process.

Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
POGGIO DI SOTTO
In the heart of Castelnuove dell’Abate to the southeast of Montalcino, Poggio di Sotto’s vineyards enjoy a wonderful micro-climate. At altitudes ranging between 250m-400m, they are sheltered by the ancient volcano Monte Amiata and cooled by the breezes that flood through the Orcia valley.
Immortalised by the previous owner, Piero Palmucci, a student of the Brunello guru, Giulio Gambelli, Poggio di Sotto’s traditional approach to winemaking sees ageing solely in large Slavonian oak casks and their style is based on a fine-tuned balance of power, grace and unerring finesse. Poggio’s Rosso di Montalcino is arguably the finest to be released onto the market after an additional year of bottle age, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. As for the Brunello di Montalcino, it sits amongst the most profound expressions of the Sangiovese grape and is a true benchmark for the region. Unmissable.

If you taste Poggio di Sotto’s Rosso blind you could easily be fooled into believing that this is a Brunello, such is the complexity it shows.

Often considered the benchmark for Brunello, this intense, polished and harmonious 2021 displays a multi dimensional, kaleidoscopic character that few estates can achieve. Ripe red currants, blood orange, hints of citrus and dried rose emerge from the glass. Warm plums and red cherries cascade across the palate and fine tannins coat the finish. This is unbelievably fine with a finish that lasts for several minutes. A Brunello that deserves five years in the cellar prior to enjoying. Drink 2031 - 2045. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026

Subtle spice and grilled herb build toward the back of the palate, followed by a finish marked by bitter almond and a gentle hint of sweetness... I came back to this bottle 24 hours later, and it's amazing how much more expressive it became." 97 points. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
A model of purity and elegance, this textural 2020 Riserva is a classic that focus on the finest traits of the vintage. Deep, multi-faceted and silken with scents of rose and dark currant, it will require another 5-8 years to reveal its full potential. Outstanding. Drink 2031 - 2045. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
LE POTAZZINE
Gigliola Giannetti and daughters Viola and Sofia run this organically certified estate just to the southwest of Montalcino. Born and raised in Montalcino, Gigliola started making wine under the guidance of Franco Biondi Santi. Both Franco and fellow Brunello legend, Gianfranco Soldera, were close friends of Gigliola and important mentors, who have had a profound influence on her winemaking style. She prioritises purity thanks to slow, spontaneous fermentations and long maturations in traditional large oak casks. Today, daughter Viola heads up the winemaking, but Gigliola remains closely involved.
Le Potazzine owns some of the highest altitude vineyards in Montalcino. The constant airflow and exposure here is hugely beneficial in keeping frost at bay, eradicating disease in poor weather, and cooling the vines in the height of summer. Gigliola’s understanding of the terroir of Montalcino particularly, with respect to the issues that surround solar vintages, has led to the acquisition of a new vineyard in one of Montalcino’s highest points to help mitigate for the future. These are beautiful, highly sought after Brunellos that exude elegance, balance and freshness.
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
£145.00 per 6 bottles IB
An incredibly well-made Rosso 2024, the elegant, perfumed nose is laden with forest berries, raspberry compote, fresh herbs, and black tea. It shows the bright-fruited nature of the vintage beautifully and the rounded tannins provide satisfying grip that will allow this Rosso to age very well. Cellar for two years and enjoy.

Tightly coiled and youthful with firm tannins, Le Potazzine’s 2021 Brunello is classically structured. Boasting a deeply intoxicating bouquet of dark cherry, rose petal, sweet red berries and balsamic notes on a silky rich yet elegant and vibrant palate, this is pure class.
Drink 2028 - 2040+. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
SALICUTTI
Following the change of ownership in 2015 the style of the wines at Salicutti has gravitated away from the rusticity of the previous era towards a more finesse-driven style under the Eichbauer family. Latest news is the acquisition of an additional 2.6 hectares to compliment their existing 4.5 and the fabulous state-of-the-art winery. The progressive nature of this estate is very apparent. We were particularly enthused by the entry level 2021 Brunello (Village) this year which offers wonderful early appeal and value. The terroir-driven ‘crus’, Piaggione and Sorgente, are both sensational this year, reflecting the high calibre nature of the vintage to perfection. In addition, the Riserva Teatro 2020 concludes a brilliant range of wines.
Brunello di Montalcino 2021
£275.00 per 6 bottles IB
"a captivating bouquet of wild blueberries, sweet lavender, orange shavings and dusty dried roses. It's juicy in feel, silken yet energetic, with crisp wild berry fruits elevated by hints of citrus and spice. Steely mineral tones mingle with fine tannins as this finishes with excellent length, airy and perfumed. A total pleasure to taste." 93 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
The grapes for this ‘Village’ Brunello are sourced from across the entire estate. Crushed sweet red fruits, hints of citrus and spice all come to the fore in this juicy, forward offering. Enjoy relatively young whilst you await the Sorgente and Piaggione. Drink 2027 - 2035.

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Sorgente is a total pleasure to take in... Energetic throughout and perfumed, the 2021 leaves crunchy tannins and a tart cranberry tinge, which leaves the senses salivating." 94 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
With notes of dark raspberry, wild red berries, blood orange and citrus, the Sorgente is a joy in the glass. Crunchy tannins and acidity gradually subside to reveal a sweet, silky offering. Give it 2-3 years and this gorgeous Sorgente will drink well for years to come. Drink 2029 - 2040.

Always darker and more mineral, this year the Piaggione also displays a sweeter red fruit profile with notes of red cherry, cranberry and spice alongside black cherry, graphite and dark currant. There is a fine tannic structure here to accompany all of the purity that we have to come to expect from this limestone-rich vineyard site. Drink 2029 - 2040. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026

"a satisfying line of freshness through the finish. Drawn from cool, mineral-rich soils, this compelling Riserva stands out as a rare and successful example of the category."
96 points. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
The small Teatro vineyard sits at the highest elevation on the estate above Piaggione. Here the mineral-rich soils produce a compelling Riserva that will require the additional ageing prior to release to knit the wine together. The 2020 is a rare success in the Riserva category. Powerful and intense, with violet, dark plum and liquorice coming to the fore. Silky and delicious.
Drink 2030 - 2042. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
SALVIONI | LA CERBAIOLA
Since the first release in 1985, Giulio Salvioni has harnessed the extraordinary potential of the Sangiovese grape from the family’s La Cerbaiola vineyard to the south east of Montalcino. Artisanal in every sense, the Salvioni family believe that in order to achieve the finest expression of Brunello, everything must be conducted by hand, from vineyard to cellar to bottle, and yields must always be kept low.
Alluring purity, minerality and fine streamlined tannins define the wines of Salvioni, and their Brunello di Montalcino, from the famous Cerbaiola vineyard, is consistently one of Montalcino’s most sought after releases. Their highly prized Rosso is a selection made from their Brunello vineyard, offering incredible value for the quality and as such is always snapped up by savvy wine collectors.
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
£240.00 per 6 bottles IB
Very Limited | On Allocation
The 2024 Rosso gives you a wonderful sense of the Salvioni personality in a more approachable style. Intense red fruits, rose, black cherry, herb and menthol burst from the glass, with fine tannins and hints of mineral beautifully integrated on the palate.

" a wild bouquet that blends orange shavings, sour cherries, rosemary and nuances of split pine. This is a drop-dead gorgeous and radiant effort for Salvioni, with a bright future in store for patient collectors." 97 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
As we have come to expect from Salvioni, these are wines that require plenty of time to mature. As with great vintages such as 2010 and 2016, the 2021 is no different. Tightly coiled, it is a wine that comes to life after thirty minutes in the glass, boasting an extraordinary array of flavours. Blood orange, Morello cherry, cranberry, pine and wild green herbs begin to emerge over time as the intensity builds. This is an extraordinarily complex wine that will age for several decades.
Drink 2028 - 2045. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
SESTI | CASTELLO DI ARGIANO
The Sesti family’s wines have gained a huge following over the years, and they are amongst the most rewarding that you will find anywhere in Montalcino. Situated in the warm south western zone, the stunning backdrop of the Monte Amiata provides excellent protection to the estate with Mediterranean breezes adding cool ventilation. Traditionally made in every sense, the elevage takes place in large Slavonian ‘botte’ (oak casks), producing a style that is always characteristically inviting straight out of the blocks, but with plenty of potential to age.

"opens with a cascade of sweet violet and lavender tones before settling on dried roses and cherries. It is elegant and nearly weighty in feel, with tantalizing acidity to balance and cool-toned red berry fruits swirling throughout. The 2021 turns inward on itself through the finish, long and pleasantly tart, as fine-grained tannin frames the experience beautifully." 94 points. Eric Guido, Vinous
With its sweet red cherry, raspberry and strawberry aromas that integrate with dark spice and lavender this gorgeous 2021 will delight from the off. Rich, velvety and powerful, the fine tannins frame this wine superbly and will allow it to age for 10 years. Drink 2027 - 2035.

95 points. Kerin O'Keefe
Reflecting the generosity and warmth of its creator, Giuigi Sesti, the heat of the 2020 growing season has given this year’s Phenomena considerable power and richness and a sense of approachability from the outset, though this is a wine that proves its ability to age year on year. Concentrated sweet blackberry, citrus, and dark scented flavours emerge from the glass, leading to a long, sweet satisfying finish. Drink 2028 - 2038. Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2026
