"Bright red with a pale rim. Flinty red cherry, violet, sandalwood and graphite on the nose and in the mouth. Clean, dense and juicy, with polished tannins nicely framing the juicy flavors; this lovely wine has a captivating vibrancy and is remarkably elegant and precise, rather than powerful and fleshy. The best young Brunello from Collelceto I have memory of."

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.
