"The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino delivers some very nice surprises thanks to its well-balanced aromas of leather, tobacco, earthy dust, crushed roses, dried cherries and grilled herbs. No one element outshines the other. This Brunello shows similar harmony in the mouth where dusty tannins are offset by subtle acidity. In fact, that freshness is a big part of what keeps this wine standing tall..."

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.
