Tenuta Benedetta

Madonna Nera

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2014

Benedetta knows how to make a great wine. This comes from a tiny family owned estate on the east side of the hill in Montalcino. Benedetta's father worked these vines for years before he saved up to buy them. They only make 13,000 bottles / year I believe. Think of their Super Tuscan starter /first course wine, the Rossi as the brother, and their Brunello as the "dad". Buy this bottle. — 7 years ago

Madonna Nera

Toscana IGT Super Tuscan Red Blend 2013

Great appetizer/cocktail hour opening wine. We like it so much more after meeting and visiting with Benedetta at the winery in Montalcino. — 7 years ago
