BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
"Montalcino is a magical place. Even when hordes of tourists wander Brunello-dazed, canvas wine bag around their necks and wine glass clenched in their hands marking them as flat-footed tourists, the magic swirls and glistens. There is a reason why Brunello has exploded, and done so to the point of saturation, even to the point of scandal. And that reason is Montalcino; it imbues everything it touches, as long as what it touches is real, authentic, and genuinely Tuscan. You can taste it in the food, smell it in the air, and when the Brunello is good, you can breathe it into your nose, hold it in your mouth and swallow it whole. The stone, the earth, the water, the sun, the Cyprus, the olive trees, the cinghiali--it's all there, in every whiff, in every sip, and this is what I look for in a Brunello." Sergio Esposito, the US's premier Italian wine consultant.
We are proud to bring you this captivating collection of genuine 1997 Brunellos from the best producers in the region - each of these bottles personifies the distinctiveness of the region in precisely the way Sergio Esposito described.
