Fattoria Scopone 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
A pleasurable, opulent wine with rich tones of cherry and sweet chocolate backed by dense concentration and extraction. Plush, ripe, modern, soft and dense; a real crowd-pleaser. Soft, thick texture with loads of spice, dark fruit and staying power.

Fattoria Scopone 2007 L’Olivare Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
Bright, textbook, loads of Sangiovese intensity with complexity and tight aromas of wild berry, blueberry, almond, white pepper, spice and rum cake. Tight and streamlined in the mouth. Needs more time to soften with cellar aging.

Fattoria Scopone 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
This is a syrupy, rich, meaty wine that opens with impressive intensity and extraction. It’s a bruiser and a pleaser that delivers aromas of cherry liqueur, blackberry jam and exotic spice. It’s also a masculine, opulent wine that could use a few more years of cellar aging.

Fattoria Scopone 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $55
Fattoria Scopone’s 2004 Riserva opens with charred aromas of campfire, liquid smoke and barbecue sauce. The fresh fruit notes tend to be on the ripe side: think mature cherry and strawberry. In the mouth, however, this well-crafted wine is smooth, silky and long lasting.

Fattoria Scopone 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
This bold and richly extracted wine tastes and feels older than it really is. It exhibits austere aromas of pipe tobacco, black licorice and spicy redwood, backed by prunes and dried blackberries. There is some tartness and astringency on the finish, suggesting very ripe fruit.
— M.L.

Fattoria Scopone 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $40
This is a thick and brawny Brunello that shows a lot more heft and personality than some of the weaker expression from the 2005 vintage. Fattoria Scopone presents a rich and textured wine with ripe notes of cherry liqueur and blackberry followed by firm, gritty tannins.

Fattoria Scopone 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Rosso di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Apart from an obvious emphasis on oak-related aromas of vanilla, spice and carpentry shop, this is a satisfying Rosso that would pair with roast chicken, potatoes, garlic and rosemary. The garlic and rosemary would take the edge off those wood tones.
— M.L.
