2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Máté, Tuscany, Italy

Description

An incredibly compelling candidate for the finest wine Candace and Ferenc Máté have produced. This matured for two years in 500l tonneaux (between a third and a quarter of which are new), followed by 12 months in larger, botti grandi. The palate is alive with bright acidity and wild black cherry, alongside clear notes of blackberry, plum and lavender. The fruit is so clearly defined and enhanced by earthiness, with a light touch of gianduja and sweet spice.?This is truly invigorating, with personality and verve in abundance. The coveted, complex terroir of Santa Restituta performed exceptionally in 2019.

Critics reviews

Michaela Morris 93/100
Located in the area of Tavernelle, near Gaja’s Pieve Santa Restituta estate, Máté was established by husband-and-wife team author Ferenc and painter Candace in the mid-1990s. High density plantings of various clones yield a richly fruited, concentrated Brunello that absorbs its oak overcoat with ease. Coffee, vanilla and mint lend a sweet glossiness to red cherry. Racy acidity keeps it vibrant. The tannins are mature and well-formed giving frame to this stylishly rendered picture.Drink 2024 - 2030Michaela Morris, Decanter (November 2023)

Walter Speller 17++/20
Certified organic by ICEA.Just mid ruby. Minerally cherry fruit with a balsamic note of eucalyptus. Gorgeous, succulent, tangy cherry fruit mellowed by a little oak and with a layer of rich, chewy tannins. Super-seductive, with loads of character.Drink 2024 - 2032Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (October 2023)

Eric Guido 91/100
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is extroverted in the glass. Exotic spices and cedar shavings complement medicinal cherry and sweet rose. This is soft and round on the palate, with a polished wave of ripe red and hints of blue fruit. Its tannins come forward through the finish, combined with a pleasantly bitter tinge as a tart cranberry tension lingers.Drink 2025 - 2031eric_guido, Vinous.com (November 2023)

James Suckling 95/100
Clear and perfumed with black-cherry and slate aromas that carry through to a medium body with fine, polished tannins and a beautiful finish. Racy and refined all around. Shows focus, finesse and structure. Same excellence as the 2015, but with more clarity. From organically grown grapes.Best after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (September 2023)

About this wine

Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino

Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany's most famous DOCG and its boldest expression of the Sangiovese grape. Located 30 miles south of Siena, its 2,000 hectares of vines are hemmed in by the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys. Brunello is the local name for the Sangiovese Grosso clone from which Brunello di Montalcino should be made in its entirety. The wine cannot be released for sale until five years after the harvest.
