Scopetone is a small but highly respected producer crafting traditional, terroir-driven Brunello from the cooler northwest slopes of Montalcino. Known for their refined style, they focus on purity and balance rather than power. The 2020 vintage, shaped by a warm but even growing season, delivers a wine that is both approachable in its youth and built for long-term aging.
Vivid red cherry, wild raspberry, and dried rose petals lead the way, followed by hints of tobacco, anise, and forest floor. The palate is structured yet graceful, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keeping everything in harmony. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks, it maintains freshness while developing layers of complexity and a long, mineral-driven finish.
This is a Brunello for those who appreciate finesse over sheer intensity. While it can be enjoyed now with decanting, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 10–20 years. A perfect match for bistecca Fiorentina, braised lamb, or aged pecorino, this is a pure and classic expression of Montalcino.
