Tasting notes

After the widely acclaimed and outstanding 2019 vintage, the 2020 was initially somewhat overlooked. In reality, it turned out to be a vintage of great attention and balance. Expressive from the very beginning in the cellar, it has given us a Brunello that is generous and immediately enjoyable. Lupi e Sirene Riserva 2020 shows juicy, savory and elegant notes, with very refined tannins and a sense of balance that will be fascinating to follow over the years. A truly beautiful expression of a generous and well-balanced vintage.
