| | Brunello is the local name for sangiovese grosso, a variety of sangiovese, Tuscany's most important red grape; it ripens well on the surrounding hillsides to produce a wine with power, complexity, and suaveness. | | | Rosso is made either from grapes grown in vineyards not suitable for Brunello or from grapes grown in Brunello vineyards but that the producer feels are not quite up to Brunello standards. | | | Montalcino, a tiny town perched upon a mountain just south of the Chianti region in Tuscany, is home to one of Italy's greatest red wines, Brunello di Montalcino. |

| | I Brunello di Montalcino 1999. Parte seconda |
| | Assaggi effettuati alla cieca nei giorni 13-14 febbraio 2004 in Montalcino. | | | Un naso di spettro pieno e ricco, a suo modo appariscente, è percorso da brividi più asprigni e vegetali che ledono alla esposizione e alla finezza, mentre la sua bocca è precisa e "razionale", di buon ordine e impegno, senza che il suo passaggio riscaldi più di tanto l'anima. | | | Bocca ancora sotto gli influssi del rovere ma che dimostra un portamento fresco e sapido, di buona materia, ciò che porta il vino all'allungo e alla profondità. |

| | Brunello |
| | At table, Brunello is an excellent companion through the meal, and a sumptuous accompaniment for roast or broiled red meat, especially spicy game dishes, as well as with strong, mature cheeses. | | | Brunello is a monovarietal wine made from Sangiovese Grosso, harvested manually after careful selection of the bunches. | | | A classic wine for the cellar, Brunello can conserve its unique characteristics in the bottle for decades, further enhancing them with the mellowness that only time can bestow. |

| | Wine: Best Producers: Tuscany, Italy--Brunello di Montalcino |
| | Montalcino, one of Italy's premier wine towns, produces one of that country's most expensive wines: Brunello di Montalcino. | | | Brunello is famous for its austerity and extraordinary aging potential, but in recent years vinification techniques have lightened up; today's Brunellos are more notable for their rich, ripe, and generally attractive qualities. | | | These wines can be made from the same fruit as that used for Brunello di Montalcino, but in practice are often from younger vines, and always vinified and aged in a manner that allows them to be consumed younger. |

| | Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G. |
| | Montalcino is believed to have produced wines since the 10th century, when the present walled city was first established after the Saracen raids. | | | Until the 1500s, records indicate that most of the wine produced was a highly valued sweet white wine of the Muscat grape called Moscadello di Montalcino. | | | Until the mid-1800s, the wines of Montalcino, whether red or white, were produced from the traditional Tuscan Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia varieties. |

| | But relative to other Brunellos tasted this evening, this wine is a bit too soft and lacked the depth of most other wines. | | | While this Brunello had a few fans, most tasters thought it took things to excess, was high in alcohol, not a balanced wine, and really didn't have much in the way of classic Brunello character. | | | fter two successful tastings of 1997 Brunello di Montalcino, we were particularly anxious to taste the newly released, highly touted 1999s, a vintage that was reputed to be in the same league with the brilliant 1997s. |
