Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino 2012
95-point ‘12 Brunello? Priced like this?? What are we even doing? Seriously though, it’s pretty cool to snag the luscious Collosorbo --- especially at $215.70 a 6-PACK DELIVERED! Get 2!
Read up on the winery in our “About” section on our website, but suffice it to say that in addition to its long history in the region, the winery has been a huge upward qualitative swing since 2010, and crazy pricing has not caught up with them yet. So you have to lock it now…! Delicious, mouth-watering, savory tart cherries, dried fruits, roasted nuts, and a dash of cocoa powder, all in a warm, lush mouthfeel and structure. To quote James… ”beautiful fruit and intensity. Long and flavorful. Gorgeous wine. One of best from here in a long time.” Agreed! Immensely satisfying Brunello...ah, it takes us back to last November’s visit and all the great food we ate there…
We have about 10 cases of this. Now, 'scuse us, we’re going to grab some Pappardelle al Ragu Di Cinghiale somewhere and make this a very fine evening! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
