From the picturesque hilltop town of Montalcino in Tuscany, Brunello is one of Italy's best red wines.
Brunello is made totally from Sangiovese, Tuscany's flagship grape that is prized for its ability to reflect where it's grown. It is typically bolder than Chianti, Tuscany's other famous Sangiovese wine. Why not find out for yourself by trying Brunello and Chianti side-by-side?
