Medium Heavy Red

This is a great entry into the 2019 vintage that can be enjoyed now, but will also be great laid down for a few years. It has the heft that some seek, but there’s plenty of nuance that comes from their deft balance between the wildness of the grapes and the slickness of the cellar hand.

This is another Tuscan wine that will be a favorite for Burg-hounds.

Gianni Brunelli, a shockingly under-the-radar producer tucked into the hillsides of Montalcino, one of the finest and most transparent Brunello’s we know that is just starting to pop up onto Italian wine lover’s lists after a 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for the 2016 vintage. Reviewer Monica Larner said, “If you seek the truth in Sangiovese, I think you find it here.” What more could you want?

A gorgeous Sangiovese from a boutique producer in Montalcino. For the Brunello curious this wine offers a great value and a precise mineral driven wine. This is a cult wine that sells every time a collector in the know walks in the shop.
