Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
2008 is one of the best old world reds I’ve had. Full stop.

Jan 15th, 2020This #brunellodimontalcino is showing well with plenty of life left on it. The nose was well integrated with med + intensity and complexity. A great balance of ripe black and red fruit with gaminess and a strong dry floral component. The structure is refined and in great shape. Unfortunately the finish was a little weak. #nostravita #tuscany #italy #sangiovese #brunello #ctbucklinwine

Jun 16th, 2016Visited this little vineyard during my trip to Italy 2015. We got a tour of the property but the best part was we sat with the winemaker in his kitchen sharing a bottle of this wine, eating some Tuscan snacks and listening to his stories. The winemaker is an extremely talented individual. He's an artist that works with clay, paint, metal, and wood. He broke out his home made pipe collection, showed us his paintings and shared books that he created out of all trees in the region. Each holding aspects of the tree and written facts about the tree. The wine is absolutely amazing and brings me back to the Tuscan afternoon I spent there.

Jun 5th, 2015Tried the 2007 and 2008. This is for the 2008. Smooth, spicy, vanilla on the nose. Love the concentration and long finish

Jun 5th, 2015I was lucky enough to meet this winemaker in Italy. The sweetest man. Part of the joy of drinking this wonderful Brunello is my memory of our afternoon with him treating us with his wines and company
