Gorgeous, deep, inky-black and intense. What sets this wine apart is the drying mineral tone of crushed granite that gives it direction and backbone. It’s soft and plush on the palate, with round tones of ripe fruit and sweet spice. Nice density and structure, too, with a spicy aftertaste.

Here’s a beautifully evolved Brunello di Montalcino (from Agricoltori del Geografico) that shows both elegance and harmony within layers of fruit, spice and earth. The wine articulates many of the most pleasurable characteristics associated with Sangiovese Grosso: elegance and liveliness.

Here’s a bright and fresh Rosso that delivers notes of red cherry, raspberry and cassis. The wine has a smoky element on the finish that intensifies an otherwise smooth mouthfeel.

Depth and persistency are what sets this wine apart. The mouthfeel is densely extracted and accented by fresh fruit flavors and aromas of clove and spice. The wine has muscle and great staying power and can age a few years longer in your cellar.

Bright, lively and buoyant, this Brunello offers great aromatic intensity overall. It definitely shows a bright vein of acidity that runs straight through the wine and holds it tightly together. Pair it with oven-baked cheese flan or crispy fried potatoes. You need fatty foods to match that sharp acidity.

Light and luminous in appearance, this bright Rosso di Montalcino delivers subdued aromas of raspberry, cherry, cola and wet earth. None of these aromas are particularly intense, but they are balanced.
