Bonacchi 2007 Molino della Suga Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
A huge difference from last vintage, this is soft, supple, dense and enduring, with loads of fruit intensity and a plush, spicy richness. Black fruit, rum cake, cherry liqueur and smoked bacon on the close. Modern, bold and very bright.

Bonacchi 2006 Casalino Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Casalino’s Brunello is a dark, pleasurable wine enhanced by warm richness, mineral notes, toasted almond and sweet black cherry. The general smoothness and fullness of the texture is what sets this wine apart.

Bonacchi 2008 Molino della Suga Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
Here’s a pretty Brunello that shows interesting complexity and bright aromas that really distinguish this wine from other 2008s. The aromas lean toward herbal and menthol tones, with accents of cola and black licorice. There’s more fruit in the mouth, especially cherry, with crisp freshness too.

Bonacchi 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Ripe berry fruit and plump tones of cherry liqueur, blackberry and cassis open the nose of this dark and concentrated Brunello. There’s also a hint of wet earth or wild mushroom and the wine is rich and smooth on the finish, with tart cherry flavors.

Bonacchi 2008 Molino del Piano Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Bonacchi makes several expressions of Brunello. Molino del Piano is a ripe and plush wine with some savory aromas of cured meat and leather backed by Indian spice and black currant. Despite the ripeness, firm structure gives the wine austerity.

Bonacchi 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
Bonacchi’s “annata” Brunello delivers elegance and brawn with thick aromas of ripe fruit, tobacco, leather and blackberry. The wine exhibits a rich and straightforward style with pulpy dark flavors, a velvety texture and a bright point of sour cherry on the close.

Bonacchi 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Big and bold, but a bit disjointed aromatically. Ripe fruit and pipe tobacco vie with a fine note of graphite or lead pencil. It seems soft, with a touch of sweetness, but crisp tannins. Give it a few more years to unwind. Finishes thick and chewy.
