Visconti Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine from the famous Brunello di Montalino appellation of southern Tuscany. The winery is located in the south-east of the appellation near the Abbery of Sanit Antimo. The warm climate brings about a high degree of ripness in the local clone of the Sangiovese grape. The thick skins yield a deep color and a higher level of tannins making for a more structured style of wine than that found in the neighbouring Chianti. The wine shows notes of black cherry and dried herbs with bold tannins and lean acidity. This is a good introduction to the style of Brunello but lacks the concentration and firmer structure of the finest examples.

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.
