Croce di Mezzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva OWC 2010 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Wine Enthusiast -
Classic Sangiovese aromas of wild berry, just-turned soil, leather and a hint of underbrush unfold in the glass. The bright, juicy palate offers layers of rich wild cherry, black raspberry, cinnamon and pipe tobacco framed in firm, velvety tannins. A licorice note closes the finish. Drink 2020?2030.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
2010 is a vintage that will go down as one of the greats of this century thus far in Montalcino. This boutique producer from Catelnove d'Abate knocked it out of the park with their 2010 Riserva, and bottled in beautiful magnums with single wood boxes, it is a must for any serious Italian fan. We love the dusty cherry, leather, sweet tobacco and spicy earth flavors that are coming on strong at this stage. Cellar direct pricing and provenance!

About the Producer

Another fantastic discovery from our trips to Italy, Croce di Mezzo has been making some excellent Brunello for decades now. Within the confines of Montalcino and its surrounding hills, certain names bring a heightened sense of appreciation - Biondi Santi, Banfi, Fattoria dei Barbi. 

Croce di Mezzo is tucked away on the road from Montalcino to Castelnove d’Abate, hidden between Biondi Santi and Fattoria dei Barbi. Despite being sandwiched between two of the area's most famous vineyards, most people haven't heard of Croce di Mezzo. Still, they share the same elevation and vineyard composition, receive the same amount of rainfall, harvest at the same time and make Brunello by the same standards as their more famous neighbors. The one big difference is the price, which represents a killer value compared to the more famous labels flanking their estate.
