A surprisingly medium-bodied wine for the year, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is also one of the more open wines readers will find in this vintage. Sweet red cherries, tobacco, spices and crushed flowers are all woven together nicely in this mid-weight Brunello. The 2007 is supple, gracious and immensely appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. Il Palazzone estate excels with forward, juicy Brunellos that can be enjoyed pretty much upon release. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

This fluid, supple red evokes cherry, berry, underbrush and spice flavors. On the slim side, with good intensity and a dusty, tobacco-tinged finish. Best from 2014 through 2024. 400 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
