Maddalena Cordella makes her 2012 Brunello di Montalcino from organically farmed fruit harvested from the northeastern quadrant of the appellation near Torrenieri. The wine is opulent and dark with deep concentration and a bold – but not overdone – feel in the mouth. In fact, this wine was by far the darkest wine in my blind flight. There’s a burst of ripe fruit with shadings of smoke, tar and licorice that help build the wine’s complexity and overall momentum in the mouth. Give it some time: There’s still of touch of firm astringency that needs to unwind. Drink: 2017-2020. Importer: North Berkeley Imports, www.northberkeleyimports.com

This shows lots of spicy, rich, fruity character. Full body with chewy tannins and a long, intense finish. Slightly hollow center palate, which might fill in by 2015.

Opaque dark ruby with brickstone rim. Exotic, minty cassis and gingerbread nose. Dense supple fruit, with chewy tannins. Seems atypical.
