Lazzeretti Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Sangiovese Blends | Italy
$37.95
I personally bought a bunch of this last time, had it, and I’m happily picking up 6 more. Man, this is GOOD, and will be for another decade, easily! THE PRICE!
The relatively young Marco Lazzeretti has been on fire the last few vintages, and because he’s still in the “newcomer” category, his prices are still somewhat grounded, even at the original price of $65. The vineyards are located at Podere Canchi, below the hill of Montalcino (Monte del Leccio) or ‘olive tree hill’, on the (northern) Siena side, near another First Bottle all-time favorite, La Fortuna. The first vineyard was planted in 1981 by Marco and Lucia’s grandfather Pietro Bastiani. This wine will blow you away with classic savory, dense berry fruit, rich texture, intense concentration and terrifically long, luxurious finish. We promise!
Hey, if you bought it last time, you KNOW! While it lasts!
PAIRING IDEAS: So, normally we’d say Fiorentina or “pici” pasta...but it’s Saturday! we have a bottle and are about to cook some lamb burgers. Trust us. PERFECT.
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: We’re feelin’ the legendary Frank Sinatra, and we're singing along to "Fly Me to the Moon" as we're swirling this in our glass. Get into some “rat pack” tunes, you’ll love it!

About The Producer
Reviews
James Suckling
This is a very, very intense Brunello with explosive spices, cedar, leather, tar and a plethora of dried plums and berries. The full-bodied palate is incredibly dense and bold, swathed in vast, comprehensive tannins and layer upon layer of plums and cherries. There’s marvelous length and decadence to the finish, where the dried-spice character goes on and on. Stunning richness. Drink from 2025.
Wine Spectator
A monolithic red, with sweetness to the black cherry, black currant and raspberry fruit. Earth and iron notes anchor the bottom end, while a tobacco accent frames the dense tannins. Offers a long finish, showing solid grip. Best from 2023 through 2042. 1,500 cases made, 700 cases imported.
