In 2021, Brunello delivered a vintage that belongs in every serious cellar. The 2021 San Filippo Dei Comunali is exactly the kind of wine collectors hoped it would produce, capturing the balance, depth, and precision of one of Montalcino's finest recent harvests. James Suckling agreed, awarding it an outstanding 97 points. San Filippo has quietly become one of Montalcino's benchmark estates by trusting tradition over fashion. Anchored by a seventeenth-century farmhouse just outside the village of Montalcino, the estate allows its Brunello to mature at its own pace, with extended aging in large oak casks followed by additional bottle aging. The result is a style defined by harmony, longevity, and quiet confidence.  Produced entirely from estate-grown Sangiovese, Dei Comunali comes from vineyards on Montalcino's northeastern slopes, where clay-rich soils and ancient gravel have shaped Brunello for generations. It's the kind of site that shines brightest in a vintage like 2021, making this 97-point Brunello an exceptional value at just $75.
