Fossacolle 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $48
Pretty savory tones and barbecue aromas combine to create a bold Brunello. Ripe fruit, black pepper, rum cake, black currant and blackberry preserves all appear in the background. Silky-smooth and firm, it shows a clean, sharp, bold close.

Fossacolle 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
Brunello Fossacolle opens with a darkly concentrated color and aromas of tobacco, spice, chocolate and meaty, pulpy black fruit. The wine presents a bigger, inky style and shows good depth and density on the palate thanks to its extracted consistency, creaminess and overall intensity.

Fossacolle 2007 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $100
This beautiful riserva opens with notes of dark cherry and chocolate followed by brambly tones of forest berry and cassis. There’s a very dry and astringent quality to the mouthfeel with pretty notes of roasted espresso bean and candied fruit that add a little extra roundness to the finish.

Fossacolle 2007 Riesci Red (Toscana)
- $45
Riesci is a super Tuscan blend of Cabernet, Petit Verdot and Merlot with lovely density and opulence backed by bright aromas of mature berry fruit, cherry cola, blackberry pie, leather and dark chocolate. It’s a black, inky wine with solid tannins that will cut through succulent steak.

Fossacolle 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
Fossacolle’s Brunello is distinguished by a chewy texture that is backed by dark concentration and plump berry fruit. The cherry and blackberry layers are thick and soft, but don’t let them fool you; Sangiovese’s characteristic acidity keeps the palate polished and pristine.

Fossacolle 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $64
Tight menthol, currant berry, cedar wood and dusty mineral notes eventually waft off a wine that seems reluctant to open at first. The structure is solid without being hard, with espresso, leather and a powerful, dry finish. Imported by Vias Imports.
