Review Date: 11/2025The 2021 Brunello Helicrhysum is stunning wine with energy, structure and finesse. Made with organically grown grapes, it opens with heady aromas of new leather, lavender, dark spice and dark-skinned fruit. Firmly structured and showing great intensity, the palate delivers succulent black cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and dried mint alongside a backbone of fine-grained tannins. It’s still youthfully austere, with bright acidity. (KO)

Notes
The 2021 San Polino "Helichrysum" Brunello di Montalcino is an organic and biodynamic powerhouse from high-altitude vineyards (450m). Named after the wild curry plant (Helichrysum) that grows among the vines, it is known for its intense aromatic profile. The nose is complex, offering black cherry, white roses, and rosemary alongside deeper notes of cedar and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably agile, featuring velvety, fine-grained tannins and a juicy freshness. The finish is long and savory, marked by a distinct mineral edge. It is an opulent yet elegant Brunello that consistently earns top critical praise for its precision.
