The Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese (san-jo-veh-zeh) grapes. The grapes are grown throughout most of Italy and Sicily and are one of the regions favorite varietal since the early 1500’s. Two of the best-known wine regions of Italy are in the Tuscany region, being Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

I am a big fan of Italian wines. Chris, not so much with reds but likes the crisp whites. I will keep on trying. I rated the 2007 Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino three glasses.
Life is too short to drink crappy wine. Expand your palate and keep trying.
