I just had my first brunello. It was 2002 Casisano Colombaio Brunello di Montalcino for $35. I liked it. I like a lot of dry Italian reds. It had some oak and reminded me of Gabbiano Chianti which I last bought for about $8. Barring some circumstance requiring me to get rid of a lot of money, I probably wonâ€™t be buying a lot of brunello.

Gary, great episode! My favorite Brunello was a 97 Fattoria Dei’ Barbi. Drank it about 6 months ago.

Response to Comment 83 by Jeff Verrellen:

We stayed in a villa on the Tenuta Oliveta property two years ago. Drank alot of Tuscan wines in the two weeks we were there, but the home brew brunello was as good as any of them, if not better. They also release a Rosso which is the same wine but just gets bottled 12 months earlier. I have heard it described as a “mini-brunello” and it is a great wine at a lower price than the brunello. The 99 Tenuta Oliveto Brunello is on my Top Ten list. Get it while (IF) you can.
