Proprietress Giovanna Ciacci has done a fabulous job with her 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. Plums, dark cherries, tobacco, violets and smoke all flesh out in this gorgeous, voluptuous wine. The 2007 boasts superb depth and richness all the way through to the creamy, inviting finish. It can be enjoyed today or cellared for at least a decade. This is a great example of the Collosorbo fruit-driven style at its finest. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022. Importers: Frank E. Johnson, New York, NY; tel. (212) 535-2612; A.

This red is bright and fruity, with hints of cherry. Somewhat straightforward, but builds on the palate to the long, juicy finish, gaining harmony with air. Best from 2015 through 2030.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
