This iconic winery’s legendary status culminates in the rarely seen Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, one of the world’s greatest collector’s items. This wine is only produced in the absolute most flawless vintages and is then subjected to an even more extreme aging regimen, often resting for up to eight years in barrel and bottle before release. This intense process yields a wine of profound structural power and immense concentration, built to evolve for half a century or more. Due to its extreme scarcity and its irrefutable quality—representing the very best of what Montalcino can offer—the Riserva commands immediate attention from collectors and drives astronomical prices on the secondary market. For the 2019 vintage, I’m just about the only price I could even find under $500/btl. This is legendary juice.
