IL MARRONETO 2015 was like sailing on a perfectly calm sea with a beautiful sunset to finish the day. It was very easy for us to make our selections in the vineyard. The grapes were wonderfully ripe right down to the most hidden parts, completely healthy and full of color and scents.We derived full, round wines with beautiful mouth- feel.Wines of great acidity enveloped in softness from an excellent polymerization of the tannins that will surely give a very long life to the wine. Aromas of flowers on the nose and silky smoothness on the palate. As for the Madonna delle Grazie, it’s scary amazing! 30265165 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 6 / 750ml $400. 30265166 Brunello di Montalcino Sel Madonna Grazie 6 / 750ml $1,080. LE MACIOCHE The vineyards of Le Macioche enjoyed an excellent position, both in terms of exposure and altitude, which allowed us to pursue the style of Brunello di Montal- cino we look for.We want the elegance to outshine the power.We want complex- ity of flavor and acidity that molds to the balance and integration of the wine. With the 2015 vintage, we have achieved these characteristics. 30265169 Brunello di Montalcino 6 / 750ml $360.

POGGIO DI SOTTO 2015 will be recorded as one of the best for Brunello di Montalcino in the last decade. This is thanks to the generous rains that fell in the middle of June and the end of July that rebalanced the vineyards and relieved the Sangiovese grapes from the hot summer days. The right combination of light, water and sun with good differences of temperatures between night and day resulted in superior fruit.We achieved a classic, austere style Brunello, full and lively with remarkable finesse and persistence, characteristics that are surely indicative of along and well-de- served life. 30265168 Brunello DOCG 6 / 750ml $1,000. TENUTA SAN GIORGIO 2015 was a year of brilliant ripening for Sangiovese in Montalcino. Refreshing rains in August and high diurnal temperature variations were perfect for the development of outstanding aromatic concentration and the smooth maturation of tannins in the skins of the Sangiovese. Grapes were harvested under optimal conditions during the first half of September. This unusually early harvest helped us maintain freshness and acidity from a variety of vineyard elevations. It’s easy to say that we are more than pleased with the results. 30265167 Ugolforte Brunello Montalicno DOCG 6 / 750ml $220.
