    Cantina di Montalcino Lorenzo Melani Rosso di Montalcino (Red) 2021 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Purple blood red - and opulently jammy, fruity, supple. Gorgeous, firm, dry and grippy tannins (slightly mineral) that manage to be both crisp and youthful and velvet-smooth. Crisp red fruit and lots of it, beautiful tannins, lovely structure. Long fresh acidity - a refreshingly mouthwatering mouthful. What an absolutely stunning wine that has everything I want and just feels young and vibrant and fresh while still having depth and a premium feel overall.
