Ventolaio di Fanti Luigi 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
There are interesting aromas here of cherry, chocolate, rhubarb, cola, wet earth, forest floor and dried violets that make this Brunello Riserva a bit out of the ordinary. In fact, it’s loaded with personality and charm and its mouthfeel is sharp, tonic and raw with a decisive root beer or balsam like finish.

Ventolaio di Fanti Luigi 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
Here is a modern Brunello with an obvious wood or oak-related element that sits on top of blackberry, mature cherry, raspberry and cola. It’s a plush, dense and modern wine with loads of mature berry fruit and lingering tones of smoke and spice.

Ventolaio di Fanti Luigi 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
Ventolaio exemplifies Brunello typicity—or the way the wine was once made before the emphasis shifted to bolder, more succulent expressions—with sharp acidity and a clean focus on fruit essence. The wine is edgy and nervous on the palate and although it’s shy at first, it does come forth with aromas of red fruit and vanilla.

Ventolaio di Fanti Luigi 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Here’s a linear and bright Brunello that opens with simple aromas of wild berry, forest floor, wild mushroom, toasted nut and cola. There’s a touch of sour cherry and astringency that will soften with time.
