There is a buzz in Brunello. After the awful 2002 vintage and the average 2003 vintage. The 2004 is outstanding. Many winemakers are comparing it to the classic 1997. Frescobaldi comments on the vintage, "2004 is another amazing harvest, better than 97? I would say so. Maybe they will have more depth and weight".
If you want to understand what great Italian wine is all about, get in on 2004 Brunello. No wine in Italy matches Tuscany's Brunello di Montalcino when it comes to class and ageability. It is located about 70 miles southwest of Florence in an arid area of soft rolling hills planted to grains and olive trees. At its heart, the village of Montalcino perches on what, in context, resembles a towering mountain. The vineyards on its slopes are planted to Sangiovese Grosso, the native strain, of Sangiovese, known locally as Brunello. The 2004 vintage for Brunello is a must buy. These are some of the finest reds in the world.
