Montalcino is full of carpetbaggers from all over the world living out expensive dreams. Rudy Cosimi’s not one of them. He’s one of the original, native producers of the modern era.

He’s the grandson of Bramante Cosimi, a tractor repairman from Castelnuovo dell'Abate, and the son of Roberto Cosimi, who bought an abandoned farm just outside Montalcino in 1971. When Roberto and Rudy planted their Sangiovese vines in 1975, there were only 28 producers in the entire appellation. Today there are over 200.

Rudy’s Il Poggiolo Brunelli are scarce in the US, but this special cuvée named for his grandfather is impossible to find, even in Europe. Critically acclaimed and utterly collectible, this is a Brunello for the connoisseur who heads down back roads for hidden gems.

Why You'll Love It

• Generous, perfumed Brunello from a warm vintage, plush and silky with bold black cherry fruit, honeyed and rosy florals, and the structure to age 20 years. An incredibly smart buy.

• 50-year old vines in optimal sandy, limestone-clay hillside terroirs make for concentrated Brunello that neighbors Tenuta Il Potazzine and Le Ragnaie charge MUCH more for.

• No pesticides or inorganic fertilizers. Wines are made with organic and biodynamic practices.

How to Serve it

• Drink now through 2040.

• Serve in Brunello or Sangiovese stems at 58°F.

• Pair with Bistecca alla Fiorentina or a daube of braised wild boar ribs with garlic, rosemary and porcinis.
