| Brunello is Back!!
|
|
Though many estates produced little or no Brunello in 2002 due to the challenging growing season, we here at MSW saw a boom in Montalcino sales in 2007. We sold every last drop we could get of 2001 normales and riservas, and 2005 Rosso di Montalcino was also an unprecedented success—we just couldn’t get enough wine from Montalcino!
What’s more, the dearth of Brunello in 2007 has primed the market for 2008, and we are excited to provide you with the very best in Brunello & Rosso di Montalcino! Ours are handmade wines, crafted by small family-run estates: wines made in the vineyard and not in a factory. We have one of the most well-rounded collections of Montalcino producers available today, from Spectator “Top Ten” producers such as Ciacci Piccolomini and Siro Pacenti, to traditional, historic producers like Pertimali and Mocali, to tiny, boutique, family-owned estates like Le Potazzine and La Colombina.

| Terry Theise 2008 Fall DI Offer!! |
TT on the 2007 Austrian Vintage: "To cut to the chase: I love 2007. I love it as much as I love 2006, but for very different reasons. This is frustrating to me personally as I’m running out of space to store wine, and I bought lots of 06s and figured I’d take a bye on the new vintage. No can do, damn it."
"...In 2007 the wines have their right proportions. The everyday wines are excellent in an everyday-wine way. The top wines, though, are shimmering and sublime, and as a community I predict they’ll give at LEAST as much pleasure as the 06s will."
TT on the 2007 German Vintage: "2007 is a fantastically consistent vintage of very high quality, standing somewhere between 2002 and 2001, and more homogenous than either. It is even more homogenous than 2005, which was supernally great where it was great but which was merely very good in certain regions. 2007 is also a wonderfully pleasing vintage; its wines are delicious and amenable at the same time they’re rich, detailed and stupidly long."
