Belpoggio 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $44
Bright cherry cola and root beer notes veer beautifully onto the balsam side, with dried ginger and chopped mint. Some firm tannic astringency needs to soften with time, and there’s a drying mineral tone that holds it all together.

Belpoggio 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
Still young and needing additional cellar time to achieve full integration, this dark, brooding Brunello opens with very masculine aromas of Spanish cedar, root beer, forest floor, dark fruit and bramble. There’s still slight bitterness on the close and a firm tannic bite.

The nose of this dark Brunello is characterized by mature notes of jammy fruit and blackberry preserves. In appearance, the wine has a slightly brownish hue and seems older than it actually is.
