Benda Pietrafocaia di Sopra Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy Theo Dancer linden flowerAnother collector's item, the 2021 Pietrafocaia is a Brunello in every way except that they do not have the rights to call this vineyard Brunello (new Brunello rights cannot be created; they must be purchased or possibly transferred kind of like how liquor licenses work in some states).
