# San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino Le Lucére 2021 This elegant, fruit-driven Brunello opens with crushed black raspberries and blueberries, complemented by nuances of pine, rosemary, and a distinctive mineral slate character.

On the palate, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity frame masses of ripe red berry fruit, while dark chocolate and violet florals emerge on the long, structured finish. Medium-bodied with a silky, polished texture, it displays the classical balance and freshness that define the exceptional 2021 vintage—comparable in quality to the celebrated 1997 and 1999 vintages. Though approachable now, it will develop further complexity through 2028 and beyond. Pair with aged Pecorino Romano, wild boar ragù, or herb-roasted lamb to showcase its aromatic depth and mineral precision.
