Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 (Tuscany, Italy) - [JS 95] [VM 94] [DM 94] [WE 93] [WA 92] [JD 92]

About the Winery:Il Palazzone was acquired by Americans Kirsten and Peter Kern in June 2021. Kirsten comes from the culinary world and her husband is Vice Chairman and CEO of Expedia Group. The previous owner, also American, was Richard Parsons, formerly of Time Warner and City Group. Kirsten and Peter Kern are passionate about Italian wine and Brunello and had long been looking for a property to buy. They are planting an additional 2.2 hectares of vines this year at a cool 580 meters above sea level. High elevation fruit is critical to maintaining freshness in the wines, especially in the face of climate change. Harvest Notes:2019 is a year that will be sure to be remembered thanks to a perfect phenolic and technological maturity and for the excellent quantity of grapes brought to the cellar. This vintage was everything producers look for. A sunny year, with temperatures between 30 and 35°C, and with the right amount of well distributed rain, in particular at the end of July and Augus
