"Poggio di Sotto’s 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is just as striking today as it was when I tasted it from barrel and then from bottle when it was first released. Still powerful and richly textured, the 2005 possesses superb depth and tons of pure pedigree. The aromatics are only now starting to open up and show the first signs of development, and yet the 2005 remains rich, brooding and not yet ready to show all of its cards. Readers lucky enough to own it can look forward to another two decades of exceptional drinking."

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.
