"The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a dark, voluptuous wine. Exquisite and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2004 impresses for its stunning texture and overall beauty. There are no hard edges or angular contours in this striking, resonant Brunello. The 2004 Riserva has really come along over the last few years. Today, it is magnificent. The Riserva is perhaps a bit more advanced in its aromatics than the straight Brunello, although it offers greater mid-palate richness and overall intensity."

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.
