Donatella Cinelli Colombini 1999 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $65

- Editors' Choice

Donatella Cinelli Colombini 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $95
Here’s a meaty and ripe Brunello Riserva with aromas of mature fruit, leather, tar and smoked ham or bacon. The wine is plush and full with enormous intensity and persistency. It’s also beautifully smooth in the mouth and although it already drinks well now, you could cellar it ten years or more.
