Bonacchi Molino del Piano Brunello di Montalcino is produced by winemaker Ivan Misuri won the career-making Giulio Gambelli Prize in 2020. Named for Italy’s greatest master of Sangiovese, it’s one of the most prestigious honors a vintner can win in the cradle of Brunello. Even though it’s going on its fourth generation of leadership, Cantine Bonacchi is a relative fledgling among the estates of Montalcino, but it’s become a must-know for Brunello lovers. A remarkable bottling from Bonacchi’s most prized vineyards, the 2016 has a gorgeous concentration and focus, thanks to its terroir and a spectacular vintage. Andrea Bonacchi has retained the best of what his great-grandfather started but also thoroughly modernized the entire operation. With Misuri at the helm, Bonacchi has refocused winemaking efforts on temperature-controlled, stainless-steel fermentation to deliver brighter fruit flavors, and aging in oak barriques and tonneaux to round the tannins and emphasize overall balance.

Tenuta Il Palagio Casino delle Vie is most famous for being the Tuscan estate of the musician Sting. This wine is a red blend in the style of a Super Tuscan with the local Sangiovese grape supported by the international grapes Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The end result has the cherry and dried herbal aromatic of Sangiovese but a firmer structure and more generous mid-palate from the Cabernet and Merlot. The style will appeal for Nebbiolo drinker on account of the firmer structure.
