When it comes to Brunello, few estates are as steeped in tradition as Sasso di Sole, a family-run winery in the UNESCO-recognized Montosoli zone. Owned by the Cencioni family since 1957, the estate sits just behind iconic Lisini and is now run by the third and fourth generations. Their high-elevation vineyards, nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, soak up the Tuscan sun and deliver fruit that defines balance and finesse.
The 2020 vintage is a stunner that Vivino user Johannes L. raved about: “On the palate, pronounced tar, vanilla and medium cherry. An awesome wine for this price.” With notes of smoke, dark cherry, vanilla, and a smooth, lingering finish, this bottle shows why Brunello is one of Italy’s most celebrated wines. Compare it to other Brunello at twice the price, and you’ll see why this is a must-buy.

From the picturesque hilltop town of Montalcino in Tuscany, Brunello is one of Italy's best red wines.
Brunello is made totally from Sangiovese, Tuscany's flagship grape that is prized for its ability to reflect where it's grown. It is typically bolder than Chianti, Tuscany's other famous Sangiovese wine. Why not find out for yourself by trying Brunello and Chianti side-by-side?
