"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a thrilling wine loaded with dark fruit, smoke, tar, incense and new leather. This textured, multi-dimensional Brunello shows off marvelous richness and dimension in its fruit. Licorice, iron and menthol add layers of complexity and nuance to the round, enveloping finish. This is a fabulous effort from La Velona."

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.
