Camigliano 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
-
$55
Tobacco leaf, new leather, forest floor and blackberry open the nose of this nicely ruby-colored Brunello di Montalcino. This wine delivers aromas of cedar wood, vanilla seed, black fruit and exotic spice. In the mouth, it is bright and tonic with sweet oak or cherry fruit flavors on the close. It’s almost ready to drink now.

$57
A delicious, crafted Brunello that celebrates Montalcino tradition. One panelist was especially fond of its cola berry, forest underbrush, plum, charcoal, granite and vanilla notes. Medium structure, but very well distributed throughout the palate with rich tannins and a long berry finish. Imported by Vias Imports.

Ripe, snappy, alert and forward, with aromas of toast and dried cherries. If you like a bit more red fruit than black in your Brunello, give this a shot. Cranberry, cherry and red plum flavors dominate, while the finish is crisp, with hints of pepper and spice. Lively but not terribly deep. Imported by Vias Imports.
