 
Vintage Choice: Brunello di Montalcino
1997
If you by one Italian wine this year, it should be
Brunello di Montalcino 1997.
The 1997 Brunellos are the best and boldest reds ever to
come out of the majestic vineyards surrounding the medieval Tuscan town of
Montalcino. These wines are the quintessential Sangioveses that are
beautifully aromatic, opulently rich and powerfully structured.
Our top pick of the
Brunello vintage is the Podere Salicutti and the Altesino Montosoli. Each rate
at 98 points out of 100. They both show the very best balance between ripe and
rich fruit, silky and mature tannins and long, fresh finishes. They are
superb.
