"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is by far the best wine I have tasted from Friggiali. There is a vibrancy to the fruit and finesse to the tannins that elevate this Brunello well above the customary level at this address. This translucent, medium-bodied Brunello impresses for its articulated bouquet, well-delineated fruit and overall sense of harmony. I loved it. Subtle hints of licorice, menthol, earthiness and French oak linger on the round, impeccable finish."

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.
