Val di Suga Wines

Sort By:

Val di Suga 1993 Vigna del Lago Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $92

A regal wine just beginning to see its prime. Very spicy and just mildly astringent, there’s a huge amount of cranberry, cherries and oak on display and in reserve. Tight and nervy, this is a classy Brunello. Will be a good companion to osso buco, stewed rabbit or plain old spaghetti and meatballs. — M.S. (3/1/2000)

Val di Suga 1998 Vigna del Lago Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $120

Classy and cool, and showing the true essence of complexity. Aromas of earth, coffee and vanilla lead into a healthy, acid-driven palate full of cherry and raspberry. Lots of depth, with nuances of mint and other spices. Not particularly rich, however. In fact, it’s quite traditional. — M.S. (6/1/2004)

Val di Suga 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $54

Surprisingly mature in color, with hues of rust and brown. It smells gorgeous as it offers intoxicating floral aromas mixed with rooty notes and earth. With spice and dried fruit enveloping the palate, it’s all you could want. And the texture is easy enough to allow for drinking within two years. — M.S. (6/1/2004)

Val di Suga 1999 Vigna Spuntali Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Price $50

A single-vineyard Brunello that’s unconventional from the get-go. Not unkind aromas of mineral, peanut and curry suggest unusual new-barrel oaking, while the palate beats fast with racy acids and broad, heavy tannins. The finish, meanwhile, is airy and long. Hold until 2008. — M.S. (6/1/2004)
