Classic Sangiovese aromas of wild berry, just-turned soil, leather and a hint of underbrush unfold in the glass. The bright, juicy palate offers layers of rich wild cherry, black raspberry, cinnamon and pipe tobacco framed in firm, velvety tannins. A licorice note closes the finish. Drink 2020?2030.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
A wonderful little library gem from one of our favorite tiny producers in the Castelnove d’Abate. This is traditional styled Brunello at its very best. In the 3 Liter format, this is will age for decades more but is drinking like a dream already.
About the Producer
Another fantastic discovery from our trips to Italy, Croce di Mezzo has been making some excellent Brunello for decades now. Within the confines of Montalcino and its surrounding hills, certain names bring a heightened sense of appreciation - Biondi Santi, Banfi, Fattoria dei Barbi.
Croce di Mezzo is tucked away on the road from Montalcino to Castelnove d’Abate, hidden between Biondi Santi and Fattoria dei Barbi. Despite being sandwiched between two of the area's most famous vineyards, most people haven't heard of Croce di Mezzo. Still, they share the same elevation and vineyard composition, receive the same amount of rainfall, harvest at the same time and make Brunello by the same standards as their more famous neighbors. The one big difference is the price, which represents a killer value compared to the more famous labels flanking their estate.
