Tuscan wines - of which Chianti Classico (and Brunello di Montalcino) form the backbone, inter alia - have changed much from the time I was a lad. Too much to discuss just now, but glad you got an introduction to one of the truly great wine regions and, indeed, regions of great visual beauty... and, of course, history - which goes back 3,000 ye...

Gorgeous cherry and red currant aromas are lightly floral with sweet spice and even a bit of mineral gun flint hiding under the bright fruit. Juicy and expressive on the palate with red fruit notes of red currant, raspberry and cherry, nicely balanced against moist earthy spice and well integrated tannins. On the fruitier side but mellow, pleasa... Read More

Ripe floral cherry blossom and cranberry fruit, a touch of strawberry and mushroomed earth. This is pure, tart, refreshing with bold spice yet it carries appropriately delicate fruit notes of cherry, strawberry and red currant. Its also savory throughout, with mineral earthiness and a chewy tannic structure gripping the mid palate and holding th... Read More

Very pretty garnet color. Light flavors of cherry or strawberry on the tip of the tongue. Medium bodied. Surprising minty sensation on the rear palate. Read More

Vinea Familiae Brunello di Montalcino, 2012 I'm pretty sure this is another Costco wine.Serviceable, though, not particularly memorable wine. Light flavors of cherry or strawberry on the tip of the tongue. Medium bodied. Surprising minty sensation on the rear palate. The research continues. Read More

Nice wine. Everything in moderation--fruit, oak, tannin, acid. Nothing dominates and nothing competes--so, I would say it's in balance. On the other hand it just doesn't seem like an ethereal wine experience. Read More

Brick color in the glass. Interestingly a winemaker (of Italian heritage) once told me that Sangiovese should be a brick or umber color, not bright red. It did have a lively red fruit nose and on the tip of the tongue more of the same. After that I lost interest in this wine--fruit fades, no acid, no body, no complexity, no soul. There's not...

Can someone tell me how much a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino 1964 is worth? (Castiglione del Bosco) and Brunello di Montalcino 1979 (Val di suga) Thank you, Kristina

The Bonacchi 2003 Brunello di Montalcino at Trader Joes for 19.99 is worth the price. We brought back several bottles of more expensive Brunello from the region and while this wine does not compare with those, it is a lovely addition to a steak dinner or antipasto platter. For the price you can afford to share with friends and not break the ba...
