"The 2019 Bacia is a bombshell beauty."
-2019 Stella di Campalto Brunello di Montalcino Bacia

There is a singular beauty to the wines of Stella di Campalto. If we had to sum it up briefly, we would say that they are studies in elegance and grace.

"Simply Stunning"
2016 Pian dell'Orino Brunello di Montalcino Vigneti del Versante

"Lovely classic Brunello" - 2013 Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino

Val di Suga drives homes what's essential about Brunello.

Brunello As It Should Be:
2010 Casanuova delle Cerbaie Brunello di Montalcino

Cerbaie crafts Brunellos exactly as we like them, and in the great 2010 vintage, the results are deeply impressive. For Brunello, 2010 is one of our favorite vintages of the past couple of decades. It has everything - concentration, clarity, and length.

Back Up The Truck - Brunello Edition
2013 Caprili Brunello di Montalcino

The Caprili estate sits right next to Soldera and follows traditionalist practices. Today, they are under-the-radar and very much under-valued. There's no doubt that their low profile will come to an end very soon. The dynamic Giacomo Bartolommei has energized his family's estate and has taken the wines to a really serious level. The estate is being noticed in a major way. 

Brunello's Old Guard
2013 Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino

Cerbaiona makes a mere 650 case of Brunello per vintage. This is a shame because Cerbaiona represents authentic, honest Brunello at the highest level of winemaking. Cerbaiona is all about perfumed aromatics, balance and finesse. If you're looking for examples of how graceful and profound Brunello can be, Cerbaiona should be one of your first stops. 

Miraculous Finesse and Precision
2013 Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino

Poggio di Sotto drives home just how finessed and nuanced Brunello can be. In many people's minds, Brunello is a wine of raw power. 

"Sublime, elegant Brunellos" - Sharp Pricing:
2010 Poggio di Sotto Brunello Riserva

"Sublime, elegant Brunellos of rare pedigree." -Antonio Galloni

“One of the great producers of Italy's old guard" -
2012 Salvioni Brunello di Montalcino

Salvioni’s wines have long served as a testament to the elegance Brunello is capable of. They thrive on spellbinding aromatics, finesse, and a nuanced, understated beauty. It’s no surprise that they are some of the most aggressively hunted wines in the region.

"Exceptionally Beautiful"
2010 Stella di Campalto Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

As many of you know, the 2010 Brunellos have a magical combination of concentration and intensity along with verve and purity.

Raw Power, Regal Elegance:
2006 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino

Every time we offer Il Poggione, the response is huge. Without a doubt, the wines represent some of the best value we know of for traditional Brunello. Normally, we wouldn’t entertain offering Brunello in the middle of August. But when this well-priced parcel of Il Poggione came my way, I knew I had to jump on it.
