"This exotic, super-fragrant, pungently-scented 1990 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as far more opulent and flattering than most wines of the vintage. It is somewhat similar to the extravagantly priced Soldera Case Basse - for one-fourth to one-third the price! This full-bodied, in your face Brunello offers an expansive, round palate, with gobs of super-ripe, jammy fruit (black fruits, roasted herbs, and smoked meats dominate the wine's personality), gorgeous concentration, and an unmistakable personality. I am impressed!"

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.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
