Enzo Tiezzi is one of Montalcino’s great traditionalists, crafting wines that honor the region’s heritage with elegance and restraint. Vigna Soccorso is his flagship—a historic vineyard near Montalcino’s town center, known for its high-altitude exposure and galestro-rich soils. These elements lend precision and finesse to his Brunello, which sees extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks to emphasize purity and structure. The 2020 vintage, from a warm but well-balanced year, is a textbook example of old-school Montalcino winemaking.
Bright red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals lead the way, followed by layers of anise, tobacco, and crushed herbs. The palate is firm and structured yet refined, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity keeping everything in harmony. The long, mineral-driven finish promises decades of evolution in the cellar.
This is Brunello built for patience, but with air, its elegance already shines through. Decant if opening young, or cellar for 15–20 years to experience its full complexity. A perfect pairing for bistecca Fiorentina, braised lamb, or aged pecorino.
