About
these Six Packs:
The previews are over, and we are ready to present our
debut offering of the 2001 Brunellos. Though we offered
a futures selection of '01s last year coupled with Sergio's
preliminary assessment of the vintage (click
here to read), now we're in real time and eager
to deliver the first of a two-part series dedicated to "the
little dark one's" brilliant showings.
This wine sampler features one of each of these distinct
2001 Brunellos, complemented with a detailed regional map
that delineates the nuances defining the geographic microclimates
of Montalcino and their respective translations in the glass.
This articulate and fascinating breakdown is best experienced
when tasting through a selection of the wines. Provide your
palate with a consummate education in Brunello, as you experience
both classic and modern interpretations of Brunello and
refine your ability to identify the signatures of individual
zones in the region.
With respect to the second
installment of our 2001 Brunello offerings, collectors
and enthusiasts should take particular note of the Col
d’Orcia
bottling. As it’s a cult name, it can only mean one
thing—hard
to get.
