"The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is just beginning to show the first signs of aromatic development, yet it remains deep, dense and concentrated on the palate. Readers who own the 2001 are in for a real treat, as it is truly spectacular today. Pomegranate, red cherry jam, blood orange and dark spice meld into the unctuous, deep finish in a superb Brunello that is both refined and powerful."

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.
