Critic Review

17/20 Water Speller jancisrobinson.com "Striking label! Not beautiful but not forgettable either. Concentrated mid ruby with orange tinges. The nose shows richness of fruit, but at the same time, it's quite composed. Dark cherry laced with laurel. Cherry fruit palate with plenty of acidity that takes the lead on the finish. Quite pure and a little austere and with plenty of life ahead. Cool-climate kind of wine and with modest alcohol although this is from a hot vintage. "

We're very excited about this stunning new release from our friends at Il Palazzone. Please see below notes from their site:

"2020 sees the release of a small bottling of 2000 liters of Brunello made from fruit exclusively from this special vineyard. Vintage 2015 is the first Le Due Porte Brunello. 2000 liters represents under half of the wine made from these 1.24 hectares (3 acres).

Le Due Porte is 540 metres above sea level. Budbreak is later here, often avoiding issues with late frosts and snow. Ripening is slow and constant. The soil profile preserves humidity; important when making a wine such as Brunello that does not contemplate irrigation. Alberese has high levels of calcium carbonate which favors acidity, aided and abetted by the slower ripening and later harvest due to the exposition and altitude.

We generally pick Le Due Porte as much as two weeks after our vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’Abate and are often amongst the last in Montalcino to harvest. The grapes develop organoleptic complexity from that extra hang-time and from the pronounced difference between day and night temperatures. In fact the altitude guarantees extreme thermal excursion even in hotter years which is wonderful for aromatic development.

Over the last two decades we have seen, year after year, a pronounced character emerge in the fruit from this vineyard, a wine that maintains the typical structure of a Brunello vecchio stampo and epitomises finesse and elegance."
