Le Macioche 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
With integrated leather, dried fruit, and tomato aromas, this is just what textbook Brunello is all about. It’s sly, deep and complex, albeit a wee bit tight and tangy. Time should soften it up, and then it will deliver all the goods. Drink in 2007.

Le Macioche 2006 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
Linear and bright, with firm structure and smoky hints of leather, tobacco and candied fruit. This is a bold, austere Brunello, with notes of root beer and white pepper on the close.

Le Macioche 2000 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Astringent at first, but better with airing. Strawberry, raspberry and mint aromas precede jammy red-fruit flavors. Exceedingly likable if not particularly complex or stately. Amid all the high fliers, this is an approachable, solid wine with chocolate notes and an easy finish. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various importers.

Le Macioche 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
This is a wine you’ll love or you won’t. Our panelists came up with a long list of descriptors for the nose: strawberry, rhubarb, pastry crust, smoked bacon fat, resin, rubber and tar. In the mouth, it delivers a stone-mineral quality and tart acidity that is almost excessive. A Marc De Grazia Selection, various U.S. Importers.
