Winemaker Notes
"Extremely attractive aromas of plum and coffee follow through to full-bodied palate, with
velvety tannins and a medium finish. Delicious already. Very close to the 1999 in quality.
Always outstanding."
James Suckling, Wine Spectator May 15, 2005. 90 points.

Il Palazzone was founded in the 1980s. The estate has three separate vineyards in three distinct areas of Montalcino. The highest elevation vineyard, Le Due Porte, is located next to the cellar, very close to the town of Montalcino. Two older vineyards are near Castelnuovo dell’Abate. In total we have 5 hectares/ 12 acres under vine, all Sangiovese.
Each vineyard is tended separately and picked, vinified and aged alone. The extraordinary variety of terroir and microclimate result in having three complimentary aspects of Montalcino represented in the final Brunello which is blended across the three vineyards.
