Varietal: Sangiovese | Location: Italy - Tuscany - Brunello di Montalcino

WA 90

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a gracious, classy wine. Sweet red cherries, flowers, mint and spices are just some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from this mid-weight, restrained Brunello. In 2006 Altesino's Brunello impresses for its balance, freshness and finessed tannins. It isn't a blockbuster, but it will drink well upon release and over the next decade or so, perhaps longer. Floral notes waft from the glass on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. A Leonardo Lo Casio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

2006 Argiano - Brunello di Montalcino

Varietal: Sangiovese | Location: Italy - Tuscany - Brunello di Montalcino

WA 93

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a gorgeous wine laced with red cherries, tobacco, cedar and underbrush, all supported by a firm tannic spine. Argiano's 2006 Brunello shows beautiful inner perfume and the structure to develop positively for a number of years. Floral notes appear on the vibrant, polished finish. The estate's Brunello spent 12 months in French oak (which is mostly felt in the wine's textural richness) and completed its aging in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

2006 Castello Banfi - Brunello di Montalcino

Varietal: Sangiovese | Location: Italy - Tuscany - Brunello di Montalcino

WA 92

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine laced with red berries, flowers and subtle hints of earthiness. Soft and supple throughout, the Brunello shows lovely juiciness in its fruit and a delicate, understated personality. The 2006 represents yet another step in the more elegant, refined direction the estate has taken in recent years. The 2006 Brunello was aged in equal parts cask and French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. A renewed focus on quality is in the air at Banfi. A new sorting table and smaller, custom-designed tanks that allow for parcel-by-parcel vinification were added for the 2007 harvest, and the first results seem promising. I tasted a number of single-clone and single-vineyard Brunelli from the 2009 vintage that showed beautifully, while an approximate blend of the 2007 Brunello was also strong. It will be fascinating to watch the direction Montalcino's largest and best-known estate takes over the coming years. Importer: Banfi Vintners, Glen Head, NY; tel.

2004 Fattoria dei Barbi - Brunello di Montalcino

Varietal: Sangiovese Grosso | Location: Italy - Tuscany - Brunello di Montalcino

WS 93

An absolute delight and an incredible bargain for lovers of classic Brunello di Montalcino. Brilliant and lively ruby red in color; the noble bouquet captures the essence of Brunello di Montalcino, with scents of wild berries, violets, truffles and a hint of smoky roast nuts. On the palate, the vibrant, precisely focused fruit has a vibrant, ringing, wild cherry complexity reminiscent of a Chambolle-Musigny or Volnay; however, the deep forest, roast chestnut, and plum tart elements of classic Brunello announce themselves strongly as the wine opens in the glass. Although this wine has at least 10-15 years of aging potential, the unusually forward fruit and impressively polished tannins make it delicious to drink now. For maximum enjoyment, it should be decanted approximately one hour before drinking.
