Podere Paganico 2003 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Dark concentration and extraction is reinforced by lavish aromatic layers of spice, vanilla and chocolate. This is a modern, bold and plummy wine that tastes thick and syrupy in the mouth and delivers generous - maybe too generous - oak flavors.

Podere Paganico 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Rosso di Montalcino)

Podere Paganico 2004 Abelardo Sangiovese (Orcia)
- $20
The wine opens thin and a bit stinky (although this blows off eventually) and segues into spicy, herbal notes backed by bright acidity and veiled cherry flavors. It’s a bit sharp, with gritty tannins.
— M.L.
