Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

2020 vintage. The overwrought 2018 vintage got the Wine Spectator wine of year honor whilst the 2019 showed better oomph and aging qualities. This was nice and pretty but lacking in either long-term structure or roided up, meaty goodness. 03.12.25 — 21 hours ago

Conti Costanti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Sangiovese at its finest. When the Tuscan sun kisses Sangiovese grapes, this is what you can get. Stunning. Age worthy, and this wine should be in any serious Italian collection — 19 days ago

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

At Coci Northpark San Diego. The wine. Food excellent. Very very difficult to evaluate. I think they used too much oak on this. Ridiculous big and tannic even after 12 years. And after 90 minutes. I tough it is corked at first and even at 60min. Tobacco, cigar box. Touch cherry hint of prune plum. And better with a t-bone than with the light Italian food.I think they really overdid it to please - May be Robert Parker - at the time? Give it at least 2 hours to breathe before serving!!!! — a month ago

Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006

Particularly earthy and elegant, the 2006 Valdicava Brunello displays a dark primary fruit appearance, but in its nineteenth year, it has clearly evolved from a dense, fruit bomb into a more refined pour with gentle and teasing tertiary aromas and flavors.

It is soft, flavorful, medium bodied, still well structured with light tannins and brisk acidity, and reveals interesting and savory notes of baking spices, dried fruits, nuts and herbal underbrush. The finish is long and satisfying. Aficionados of well aged wines, this is for you!
