Tenuta Friggiali 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
This is a fine Brunello Riserva with a thick and pulpy feel that is accented by aromas of cherry, wild berries, currants, exotic spice and pipe tobacco. The wine is smooth and rich with enduring fruit notes and silky tannins. There is a pleasantly sweet note of cherry and vanilla on the long finish. Drink after 2012.

Tenuta Friggiali 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Bright delivery with aromas of cola, root beer, humus, crème de cassis, forest berry and wild raspberry. It shows finely textured tannins with a bitter almond or bitter chocolate aftertaste. Brambly, sharp, acidic and well defined.

Tenuta Friggiali 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
This Brunello is characterized by dark, dense extraction that seems packed tight with black cherry, pressed rose, spice, root beer and toasted nut. The wine feels full and opulent on the close but fresh acidity stops it from being heavy or chewy.

Harmony and clean delivery of fruit on the nose and mouth mark this wine. You’ll encounter layers of cherry, blackberry, plum, cola and spice. There’s a dusting of mineral as well and the tannins are silky but firm.

Tenuta Friggiali 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $66
Cherry-berry, vanilla, herbal notes and forest floor are the dominant aromas. But there’s also a slightly lactic quality in the form of milk chocolate. Not a hugely complex wine, but a straightforward and friendly one with a medium body and a spicy finish. Imported by Vinifera Imports.

Tenuta Friggiali 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Here’s a Brunello with a lighter more restrained style that will prove a successful match with delicate ravioli topped with parmigiano, butter and sage. The tannins are polished and smooth and the wine offers good acidity backed by aromas of cured meat, freshly brewed tea, licorice, cherry cola and mesquite.
