[Cornell Wine] Brunello Bargain

BRUNELLO BARGAIN

2002 was not a great vintage in the BRUNELLO di MONTALCINO area –  
like all of Tuscany it was a cool and wet year.  Several Brunello  
producers declassified their Brunellos to Rosso status (try the  
TENUTA FRIGGIALI 2002 ROSSO di MONTALCINO at $22.75, current stock  
only).  However some good BRUNELLOS were made, and the prices are  
consumer friendly.

CIACCI PICCOLOMINI d’ARAGONA 2002 BRUNELLO di MONTALCINO
I tasted this wine this week, and it has all the elements you look  
for in a Brunello.  It is drinking well now, but will last for a few  
years.  However I’m buying some to drink now!  I have not seen any  
“expert” review of this wine.  (The cheapest other vintage from this  
producer is $45 wholesale).
$36.75/bottle                          Pre-paid case orders $360.00

Cheers,
