Cordella 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $50

Opens with a sweet opulent nose driven by aromas of plump cherry, moist pipe tobacco, chocolate fudge, vanilla bean and ground espresso. But the wine is not modern or overtly international in terms of its style. It shows deep roots in Montalcino tradition and a bold, overt personality. Earth, leather and dried tobacco drive the finish. — M.L. (5/1/2012)

From newcomer Maddalena Cordella, this elegant Rosso di Montalcino delivers sweet oak notes backed by cherry and wild berries. Pair this wine with lamb or pork because it has the power and intensity to stand up to grilled meat dishes. The finish is elegant and refined. — M.L. (8/1/2010)

Cordella 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Online Exclusive

Price $75

This estate delivered a fine Rosso di Montalcino in 2008 and less certain results with its Brunello the same year. The issue is the sharp acidity that really makes your mouth pucker. Thankfully, the intense crispness is balanced by softer spice, black fruit and tobacco aromas. — M.L. (5/1/2013)
