Innocenti 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Marked by chocolate, leather, tobacco, espresso, dark licorice and loads of pretty blackberry fruit, this is a defined, focused wine with a crisp, pristine personality.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Innocenti 2006 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Online Exclusive
The wine gives an impression of being supple and soft, at least on the nose, but you can feel the firm structure in the mouth. The quality of the tannins is dusty, firm and unyielding at this early stage. Drink in 5–10 years.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Innocenti 2007 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

There’s an exotic touch of Indian spice and teriyaki sauce upfront that later segues to bright cherry fruit, leather and tobacco. The fruit feels ripe and soft, and the mouthfeel is firmly structured, polished and tight. Drink after 2015.  — M.L.  (5/1/2013)

Innocenti 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Here’s a feminine and deeply floral expression of Sangiovese Grosso with background notes of wet earth, violets, rose petal, currants and a smoky touch of mesquite wood. In the mouth, the wine shows excellent power and concentration. We suggest a pairing with rabbit or magret de canard.  — M.L.  (8/1/2010)

Innocenti 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Bright and cheerful in character, and immediate in terms of its aromatic delivery, this delivers coffee bean, candied fruit, blackberry, cherry cola and dried spice notes. There’s a sweet element to the mouthfeel that is fleshed out by the wine’s bright acidity.  — M.L.  (5/1/2013)

Innocenti 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

There’s a sharp, brambly quality to this Brunello that recalls aromas of forest floor, chopped herb and wild berries. You’ll also get mineral tones, slight graphite tones and the mouthfeel is both drying and polished. Pair this wine with Porcini risotto or pork medallions.  — M.L.  (10/1/2010)
