The most famous wine made in Tuscany is Brunello di Montalcino. 100% Sangiovese aged five years after harvest, the Cantina di Montalcino is an amazing value in the much-hyped 2019 vintage. Founded in 1970 as the only cooperative winery in Brunello, Cantina di Montalcino counts over 90 small family growers with close to 160 hectares of vineyards throughout the DOCG. In a vintage like 2019, this diversity of vineyards is a huge positive. The current releases are an embarrassment of riches, and Cantina di Montalcino continues their streak of creating world-class wines at reasonable price points.
"Aromas of berries and black cherries, together with hints of prune, mushroom, bark and wood. Medium to full body with firm, polished tannins and a long and intense finish. Structured and complete. Well done for the cooperative of Montalcino. Give it three to five years to soften. Try after 2026." James Suckling, 94 Points
