Though sweetness isn’t typical of the vintage, it defines this wine, opening with concentrated tropical fruit (papaya, mango) balanced by bright acidity. The palate is
dense and juicy, shifting from mint and thyme to raspberry and sweet-tart red fruit, with round, silky tannins and a fresh yet enveloping finish.

"A sleek and graceful wine with aromas of Parma violets, licorice, red fruit and a touch of mint. Full-bodied, it shows elegant tannins with freshness and well-tamed power. Amazing length, with a polished cherry pit aftertaste."

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille bursts from the glass with masses of thyme, incense, rosemary and cedar before giving way to dried strawberries. It presents a subtle inner sweetness and elegant texture, coming across as weighty yet refined, with polished red berry fruits swirling throughout and leaving a bitter licorice tinge to linger on the palate. A complex web of fine-grained tannins flexes on the palate as a tart wild berry saturation lingers incredibly long. The 2021 is youthfully dense and tightly wound today, with the balance for a long and glorious evolution."
