PianCornello 2006 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
Here is a very plush, dark and decadent riserva with soft and luscious tones of ripe fruit, blackberry, moist earth and pipe tobacco. The wine is smooth, dense and enduring. It can be either aged or consumed in 3–5 years. The style reflects a soft, round approach to the crisp 2006 vintage.

PianCornello 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
Dark, inky and thick, this hearty Brunello begs for grilled steak. It opens with ripe fruit—blackberry, plum and prune—and has a background rendering of spice, leather and cigar box. It shows a big, bold style, with loads of soft density and opulence. Good structure, too. Drink after 2015.

PianCornello 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $49
PianCornello opens with very nice intensity and a dark Brunello color with aromas of cured meat, ripe blackberry and exotic spice. It’s a bigger, thicker expression of the wine with firm tannins and ripe berry flavors backed by just enough acidity to keep the palate refreshed.

PianCornello 2003 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
Here’s a steady, consistent Brunello that marches forward without exposing itself too much in terms of jamminess. It has aromas of ripe blueberry, black currant, prune and dried tobacco over a plush texture and good structure. Vines are 15-years-old on average and their deep roots may have helped protect against hot temperatures.
