2010 PICCINI "VILLA AL CORTILE" BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO James Suckling - "A soft and silky red with dried berries and cream and hints of vanilla. Full body, fine tannins and a fruity finish. Best wine ever from here. Better in 2016." 94 Points From Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, "The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Villa al Cortile offers good value in an otherwise very expensive category of wine. The wine...opens to pretty tones of dried cherry, balsam herb, candied ginger and toasted almond. Piccini's effort does a great job of reflecting the characteristic aromas most associated with quality Sangiovese. Earthy and floral tones give the wine a homely, approachable style that opens the drinking window to near-term consumption." 91 Points
