Introduction:
Lisini
begins to produce Brunello di Montalcino from late 19 century! The
average age of its vine is around 40 years and the oldest is about 80
years old! Lisini is a pure traditionist which is one the text book
example of Southern Montalcino.
Livio
Sassetti Pertimali,
another old producer (from 70’s) whose Brunello is up to the standard
of fine wine! His Brunello is from the North which has an edge in
intensity and critical acclaim. Its sensual style is deep and
penetrating. Definitely a serious and elegant Brunello!
E. Pira e Figli Among
women in the wine world, Chiarla Boschis (the owner) is both an
influence and a role model! Recent tasting of her older Barolo vintages
have evidenced their propensity for adding uncommon complexity and
depth. Her Barolo is from Cannubi, one of the top cru from Barolo!
Rocche dei Manzoni An
extraordinary “modernists” from Monforte d’Alba whose wine is aged in
barrique and loaded with biggest personalities. The bottles are
seductive in their youth but capable of yielding great emotions after
cellaring! Santo Stefano is one of the top cru of Barolo!

Introduction:
Cerbaiona
Brunello di Montalcino 2006: "Cerbaiona
is phenomental, capable of great complexity and of course, very
"terrior""
Salvioni
Brunello di Montalcino 2006: "Try a
bottle of Salvioni. It will cost you, but try it once! If you like it,
keep looking for other producers of this style. If you do not like it,
you do not like Brunello!"
Giacomo Conterno
Barolo Cascina Francia 2007: To
describe his Barolo precisely:"exemplars of richness and tradition"
Bartolo Mascarello
Barolo 2007: A
different exemplar of Barolo, but one thing they are in common:
"Legendary and Classic"!
