Casato1 2006 Voliero Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $55
Brunello Voliero is a dark and savory wine that is packed tight with red berry, cherry liqueur, toasted spice, leather and lasting tones of dried tobacco and cigar box. Three years of aging in large oak casks has helped shape a soft, velvety and polished mouthfeel.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Casato1 2008 Voliero Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $55
Bold and dark, this brawny wine shows beautifully evolved aromas of cured meat, leather, tar, cola and resin backed by candied fruit, pomegranate and crème de cassis. That extra muscle helps support the sharpness of the acidity, and plays a promising role in the wine’s overall aging potential. Hold 5–10 years.  — M.L.  (5/1/2013)

Casato1 2007 Voliero Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
  1. $50
An inky-black appearance and spicy-savory aromas make this the kind of Brunello you want to drink on a really cold winter night. Tightly concentrated and extracted, with loads of black cherry, leather and tobacco, there are balsam notes too, but delivered in a big, strong fashion. The smooth, silky finish that is not overly dense or intense.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $23
Simple, bright and packed with fresh berry intensity, this easygoing Rosso would pair well with meatloaf, lamp chops or pasta with meat sauce. The wine’s naturally crisp acidity will cut through the fat content of these succulent foods.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Casato1 2010 Voliero Sangiovese Grosso (Rosso di Montalcino)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Pair this food-friendly bright Rosso with meatloaf or pork roasted with chopped fennel and leeks. The wine opens with easy berry aromas backed by blue flower and spice, and there’s a blast of cleansing acidity on the close.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)
