"The estate’s 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia is wonderfully intense in its dark, opulent fruit, leather, spices and licorice. The wine blossoms on the palate in stunning style, with remarkable grace, elegance and clarity. There is more than enough density in the fruit to balance the tannins. This sumptuous, full-bodied wine is one of the few late-release 2003 Brunellos that delivers the goods."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
A powerful, age-worthy Sangiovese from the warm hills of Montalcino, requiring extended aging and prized for depth and longevity.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
