The Bottle that Started Our Brunello Journey
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino that started The Wine Monk's own Brunello journey — a revelation after an hour and a half in the decanter.

The bottle that started our own Brunello journey.
While the single Vineyard Montosoli may be a benchmark bottle their straight Brunello is rarely too far behind.
A collectors bottle from the best years, these have been great irrespective of how perfect or imperfect were the years they grew up in.
This one from the 2007 vintage was magnificent when it started after an hour and a half of decanting and remained as such until the last drop.
Sincere thanks to a generous wine buddy. This was the last of the lot and he still agreed to open.
2007s can comfortably run another decade with the same intensity and love.
We just restocked their 2010s and 2012s — two of the recent exceptional vintages from Montalcino.
