Fattoria La Lecciaia 2001 Manapetra Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice

One of the top wines of the tasting thanks to intriguing complexity and depth of character. Cassis, herbal, smoked notes and snappy acidity are woven tight to establish texture and balance. It’s hard to separate the well-amalgamated flavors. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selections Ltd.

Fattoria La Lecciaia 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Smokey layers of tar and asphalt open the nose of this dark and brooding Brunello Riserva. There are some candied and dried fruit notes here but the overall bouquet is focused on complex tertiary aromas. What sets the wine apart however is its texture: firm, drying and long lasting. Drink now or up to three years from now.
