2012 Colleoni, Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva 6x75cl

Everyone’s image of Italia, surely? And home to the Sangiovese: whether responsible for Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, the grape’s enormous potential is being fully recognised in the 21st century. And it’s not just these famous areas that are doing the business, superb examples are now being made in coastal Maremma (source, too, for fresh, vibrant whites from the Vermentino). Meanwhile, there’s always Bolgheri for those who love Bordeaux.
