2001 Terralsole Sangiovese Grosso "Riserva"

All of the Sangiovese Grosso grapes are hand picked from two estate vineyard sites on the southeast and southwestern slopes below the village. A minimum of 30% the harvested grapes must be declassified and not included in this wine. A cold maceration period is also controlled by computerized refrigeration during the 12 to 14 day tank fermentation. The cap formed by the skins is broken by a built in plunging mechanism. The resulting wine is then aged for 20 months in 2.25 hl barrels (60 gallon), and another 10 months in 5.50 hl barrels. Then held back for a minimum of six additional months of bottle aging before release.

Only now, does a very small amount of the 2001 Terralsole Riserva Brunello di Montalcino become available....and the Wine Spectator has reviewed it as follows:

Shows beautiful aromas of crushed raspberry, cherry, vanilla and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with ultrasilky tannins and a long, long finish. Fantastic. This is a relatively new producer. Best after 2010. - 95 points.

This is really the very last opportunity to purchase highest quality Brunello at entry level pricing from the heralded 2001 vintage!
