As many of you may know, we work directly with many of the best producers in the top vineyard sites around the globe. One of our favorite areas is the renowned Tuscan DOCG region of Brunello di Montalcino, where we are the proud Massachusetts importer of the great wines of Mastrojanni! We have been hearing for some time that when the 2010 Brunello's are released, there will be huge demand. Judging by what we see and hear people are already excited about this memorable vintage and the time has come where they are now available for sale!

While we obviously are extremely high on the wines Mastrojanni produced in 2010, and recommend them strongly, there are so many high scores for the wines from the region as a whole, we feel the need to offer as diverse a list as possible.

"The year 2010 for Brunello di Montalcino is the greatest modern vintage of Italy's most famous red wine region. Never have the wines been so profound in quality, character, and quantity from the best hillside vineyards of Montalcino."
