Broad and ripe, this red offers plum, cherry, iron and leather flavors. Reveals hints of earth and almond as this builds to the lingering finish. Vibrant and balanced, with a dusty quality to the tannins. Enjoyable now. Drink now through 2040. 250 cases made, 70 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Aged in French oak casks for four long years, the Mocali 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with only 3,000 bottles produced) is distinguished by a unique bouquet. There is a strong menthol note with medicinal herb that I did not find elsewhere. There is no primary fruit, but evolved aromas of forest floor, dry wood, cola and button mushroom slowly work their way to the top. I feel that the drinking window here is very short.

A savory version, this red displays juniper, eucalyptus and sanguine notes surrounding a core of cherry fruit. The flavors are buoyed by dense, pointed tannins that compact the finish for now. Best from 2026 through 2040. 400 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Here is a darkly saturated and rich expression from one of the most memorable vintages of the past 10 years. The Mocali 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a layered and generous expression with dark cherry, blackberry preserves, licorice and pressed blue flowers. The wine completes its malolactic fermentation in oak and ages in botte for a long 48 months. The mouthfeel is soft and rich. Only 3,000 bottles were made.

Ripe cherry, plum and violet aromas and flavors highlight this supple, fruity red. Racy and elegant, showing terrific harmony and a long, fruit-, tobacco- and mineral-laced aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2043. 500 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
