What to Expect

Brunello di Montalcino is certainly one of the premier expressions of Sangiovese in all of Italy. Unlike other regions, such as Chianti, Brunello must be produced from 100% Sangiovese, in fact the particular clone referred to as Brunello. The vineyards of Brunello cover a large hillside and can be roughly divided into four regions, though things like age of vines and vinification techniques can easily mask the characteristics of each zone. Brunello is uusally a medium full-bodied wine with both strong acidity and tannins that support leathery, subtly spicy tones of coffee and tobacco that add depth to the classic plum and dark cherry fruits.

Rating: 89/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 110, September/October 2003 Bright, deep red. Aromas of roasted redcurrant, plum and game. Dense, fat and rich, with lush flavors of meat and earth. Could use a bit more verve and complexity, but has solid underlying structure. (Empson U.S.A., Alexandria, VA.)
