Well etched, defined and crisp, this is a strong, determined wine with loads of power, acidity and firmness. The wine shows all the criteria for a long cellar life, softening slowly as the wine evolves. Age 10–20 more years.

Canneta 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
This Brunello presents a classic, textbook bouquet with red fruit, spice, cola and pressed flowers—but with a subdued, mild delivery. The wine shows aromatic intensity but not in an exaggerated fashion. The tannins are dry, firm and dusty and there’s a wood-driven finish of spice and rolled pipe tobacco.

Canneta 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
This Riserva opens with a lean, compact color and vinous aromas of forest berry and cherry. There’s crisp acidity here that will pair perfectly with foods that have a fatty element such as ricotta-filled pasta or butter chicken.

Canneta 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Canneta offers distinctive aromas of smoked ham, dried sausage with fennel seed, chopped herbs, coffee bean and black fruit. The mouthfeel is raw and slightly herbaceous with some astringency on the close. This Brunello could stand up to pasta with broccoli and sausage.

Canneta 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
There’s a meaty, ripe aspect to the aromas here that recall black cherry and smoked ham. But there’s also an edgy green tone that lends a slightly bitter impression in the mouth.
