The cellar process for the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Ugolforte is the same as Poggio di Sotto, but the clonal selection is different. A jeweled ruby color, the nose is very pretty, with pure notes of ripe raspberry liqueur, pressed flowers, sweet herbs, and incense. Medium-bodied, it's elegant and juicy on the palate, retaining wonderful freshness, with ripe tannins and a supple texture. The palate is approachable, with good length, and it should have a wide window for enjoyment over the coming 10-15 years.HK$1,860.00 -

Attractive aromas of cherry, dark mushroom, bark and walnut follow through to a full body with lots of ripe cherry and berry character in the center palate. Firm, chewy tannins draw you down the palate. Extremely long. From organically grown grapes. Better than the superb 2015? Drink after 2023 and onwards.HK$3,875.00 -

The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum redeems some of the shortcomings of San Polino’s base 2009 Brunello. Although the wine feels sticky and chewy in the mouth with an evidently mature quality of fruit, Helichrysum is characteristic of a hot Brunello vintage. You’ll recognize tones of jammy fruit, cherry cough drop and sweet maple syrup. Drink: 2016-2020.HK$785.00 -

A rich, layered red with blackberry and chocolate, as well as cured-meat and wet-earth undertones. It’s full-bodied with depth, intensity and focus. Lovely, velvety tannins and a long, creamy-textured mouth feel. Generous finish with tension. Better than 2015. Try after 2024.HK$2,480.00 -

Shavings of cedar come together with wild strawberry and dusty rose as the remarkably pretty 2018 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This washes across the palate with ease, supple and soft, with tart wild berry fruit that adds a cheek puckering tension toward the close. Saline-tinged minerals and gently grippy tannins emerge providing a youthfully structured and savory finale, as a residual bump of acidity maintains a pleasant inner freshness.HK$2,785.00 -

The excellent 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a true standout of the vintage.

A shade deeper in color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is beautifully pure and expressive on the nose, with cherry cordial and a savory mineral edge that hints at the vintage’s character.

Deep red. Slightly roasted aromas of redcurrant, cherry, coffee and smoky oak. A supple, sweet midweight, with sangiovese-typical notes of cherry, plum, mocha and leather, all nicely framed by firm acidity. Not the last word in complexity but suave and satisfying, with insidious persistence on the ripely tannic finish.HK$4,295.00 -

2003 is a very strong vintage for Silvio Nardi as both Brunellos are outstanding. The differences between the two bottlings appear to be more about style rather than quality. Nardi's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is an elegant, finessed wine with remarkable clarity and precision in its ripe fruit. It offers notable persistence on the palate and a long, lingering finish.HK$3,925.00 -

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is soft and delicate in its dried roses, dried cherries, tobacco and spices. This mid-weight, ethereal Brunello offers good length and clarity in a feminine style. Though quite pretty in its layered aromas and flavors, the wine is also rather forward and looks to be an early drinker. Beyond that, it is difficult to argue with the balance and harmony at this stage. This is a strong effort, particularly considering the 10,000 case production. Nardi's Brunello is made from 36 parcels in Casale del Bosco, in the north-west of the region, and Manachiara, which lies in the south-east corner of Montalcino.HK$1,520.00 -

There’s a cool-toned freshness to the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino as a whiff of sweet smoke mixes with nuances of plum and sage. The texture is silky smooth, enhanced by juicy acidity that adds vibrancy to the remnants of tart red and black fruit. It’s gently chewy and long, leaving subtle mineral tones and hints of bitter blackberry.HK$1,520.00 -

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty wine laced with dried cherries, crushed flowers, licorice and spices. The wine’s mid-weight structure and modest depth both suggest it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.HK$1,520.00 -

The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is lovely. Tobacco, dried herbs, cedar, plums and cloves are nicely layered in the glass. Firm yet well-integrated tannins support a mid-weight finish laced with expressive floral notes. In 2008 Nardi didn't feel conditions were ideal to bottle their top two selections, so the Brunello includes juice that would otherwise have gone into the Manachiara and Poggio Doria. Nardi's 2008 should drink well pretty much upon release and for another decade beyond that. Vinifications lasted around 22-23 days. Nardi preferred not to go too long in 2008 because the fear was to over extract given that the maturation of skins and seeds wasn't perfect. The 2008 spent one year in French oak barrels, 25% new followed by one year in cask. All of the parcels were vinified separately but ultimately were blended into the straight Brunello.HK$2,850.00
