2009 PICCINI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO, RISERVA

Meriting 94 points from Richard Jennings, a rising star and highly respected wine critic, who writes a weekly column in the Huffington Post, Piccini’s top reserve-level Brunello Riserva is incredibly nuanced, guided by a confident and finely-tuned bouquet filled with dried berries, crushed violets, bold tones of dark red fruits, cigar box and spices.  At $46/btl below retail, if you would like to add some of this Brunello to your cellar, it would be judicious to place your order right away…

Reaping the benefits from 36 months in oak and roughly 4 years of development in the bottle, waves of vibrant and focused flavors grace your taste buds with articulation, power and persistence.  Having more than 130 years of tradition under their belt, their high-level, 4th generation winemaking is deliciously apparent in this classic Brunello.  I strongly recommend securing a case of this terrific Brunello Riserva.  With a finite supply of cases available, orders will have to be taken first come first served with this beauty.
