Tornesi 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
There’s a nicely perfumed element to the nose that recalls pressed blue flower or lavender potpourri. Bold berry and currant undertones form a base of plumpness and richness. Light shadings of spice and toasted nut drive the mouthfeel. Structured and firm.

Tornesi 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
There is a woody or brambly quality to this Brunello that will remind you of forest brush and wild berries. You’ll also get tones of mesquite wood, root beer, licorice and very enticing balsam notes that create a sharp and immediate quality to the overall delivery. This is a different Brunello with its own character, personality and unique intensity.

Tornesi 2007 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
This Brunello riserva shows brambly characteristics of wild berry, white cherry, forest floor, cola and dried ginger. Warmer notes of tobacco and leather fill in the rear. The acidity and tannins are sharp and tight, and there’s a touch of sour cherry on the close. Overall, there’s nervous elegance here and the wine needs a few more years to unwind.
