Ferrero 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
This hearty Brunello offers meaty tones of smoked bacon and ham that are wrapped over aromas of prune, mature cherry and blackberry. There’s very good persistency here and silky tannins help shape the wine’s velvety texture.

Ferrero 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
Smoke, raspberry, tart cherry, vanilla, dried basil leaf, plum, caramel and smoked ham work well together as a whole. Juicy acidity and firm but ripe tannins are drawn over a good mouthfeel that could be more compact and complex. Imported by Bacchanal Wines.

Ferrero 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
Ferrero has the heft and consistency to contend with other top Brunellos and the velvety-soft quality of its mouthfeel is extraordinary. The nose was less convincing, however, with heavy tones of old wood, cedar and liquid smoke.

Ferrero 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Showing youthful oak tones that still need time to integrate, this wine is a bit sour and ripe at the same time. Black cherry, tobacco, leather and spice aromas are nice, but the tannins are firm, and the wine shows a bright point of acidity on the close and a gritty, cooked-fruit finish.

Ferrero 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Rosso di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
Ferrero’s Rosso di Montalcino offers an interesting layer of smoked ham or beef jerky that sits over a core of juicy berry fruit. Smoke flavors also appear in the mouth and although the wine’s consistency is not too thick or dense, those buoyant aromas and flavors do last a long time.
