Il Cocco Brunello di Montalcino 2021

This is an incredibly rare wine from a family that has been farming this land since 1700. Giacomo Bindi took over the family business in 2000 and has been quietly building one of Montalcino’s most compelling estates ever since. There, he crafts Sangiovese with incredible freshness, energy, and precision that some of the city’s most distinguished sommeliers have been snapping up before anyone else could even notice.

Il Cocco is one of Montalcino’s true rising stars and one of the rarest wines in the market. Giacomo farms just 3 hectares at some of the highest elevations in the appellation, producing organically and biodynamically a mere 500 cases total per year! If you don’t realize how tiny of a number that is consider this: that’s less than what gets bottled of Soldera Case Basse, Biondi Santi or Cerbaiona Brunello!
