Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino 2020
*Pre-Arrival: Due to Arrive the 2nd week of February*
96 Points, James Suckling – 95 Points, Kerin O’Keefe
The 2020 vintage in Montalcino had everyone buzzing since day one. Decanter praised these wines as “seductive and immediately harmonious,” while Francesco Ripaccioli of Canalicchio di Sopra compared it to the legendary 2015 vintage. The new releases are just starting to roll in, and Paolo’s 2020 Brunello is already a showstopper.
James Suckling awarded it 96 points, calling it “a profound wine with vibrancy and complexity,” praising its velvety tannins and precision. Kerin O’Keefe matched that enthusiasm with 95 points, highlighting its “weightless finesse” and suggesting it will drink beautifully through 2035. Even the typically reserved Vinous called it “impossible to ignore” and “wonderfully refined.”
Original price was: $75.00.$67.50Current price is: $67.50.

96 Points, James Suckling
“A profound wine with vibrancy and complexity, exuding restrained cherries and raspberries, together with touches of ash and fresh orange peel. Leafiness and meaty minerality add an extra dimension. The attack is lush and ripe, with full body, velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and violet-soaked cherries to finish. Real precision here. Drinkable now, but best after 2025.”
The name Ciacci Piccolomini carries immense weight throughout Italy and beyond. Simply put, they’re one of the most highly decorated producers in all of Italy and their wines are some of the most sought-after wines anywhere in the world.
In 1985, Countess Elda Ciacci shocked the wine world by leaving her historic UNESCO World Heritage estate not to her family, but to her estate manager, Giuseppe Bianchini. Giuseppe transformed the property into one of Tuscany’s crown jewels, and when his son Paolo took over in 2004 (leaving behind a promising cycling career), he elevated it even further. A Wine Spectator Top 10 wine and countless accolades later, Ciacci Piccolimini has become one of Italy’s most coveted producers.
