Smoky and dark, with potent char and tar elements to the bouquet. Look for sweet cherry and plum flavors floating on a bed of soft, smooth tannins. And in the end there’s a heaping of chocolate and espresso. This is like a liquid dessert for adults. Imported by Star Industries Inc.

La Fortuna 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
Here’s a fortunate Brunello that is redolent of all the best aromas the wine has to offer: blackberry, plump cherry, pressed violets and exotic spice. There’s a slightly sweet and pulpy quality to the mouthfeel that helps drive this wine smoothly over the palate.
