Fanti Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta San Filippo 2001

#23 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2006!

The Fanti Family has been producing wine and-extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany for nearly 200 years. In the 1970s, current owner Filippo first took over the Estate, marking a major turning point in its history. After redesigning and replanting across its 300 hectare property, an innovation-meets-tradition winemaking technique has resulted in extremely high-quality grape growing, all while avoiding any non-organic fertilizers. 

Fanti's Brunello is red ruby in color with violet shades and garnet-red tones. The taste is sweet and silky with very well balanced tannins and fruity and spicy sensations.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

Fabulous aromas of blackberry, cherry, meat and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with masses of velvety tannins and loads of fruit. A blockbuster.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Bold brushstrokes of cocoa fudge, lavish vanilla, espresso bean, plum, leather and Indian spice create an expressive and flavorful whole. Silky tannins are framed by ripe red fruit and smoky roasted notes. A very good showing from one of Brunello’s most recognized names.
