Like you, we revel in the highest form of the Sangiovese grape - BRUNELLO! Our only complaint… they’re usually expensive! BUT NOT TODAY!!! For less than a tipple of Brunello at a restaurant, you can savor a whole bottle at home!

Know this, fair Operatives: at 45% OFF, and a mere $36 a better deal does not exist! That’s a price more fitting for the young Rosso, methinks.

We’re proud to be first to market with this stunner – the 2020 ‘Libero’ is so new, there aren’t any reviews yet. While the 2019s received the power and the glory of critical acclaim, with this same bottling earning 96 points, the 2020 vintage also hit high marks. And surely this compares…

(Also, check out the killer deals on utterly brilliant cult Brunelli by Siro Pacenti: ‘Pelagrilli’ and ‘Vecchie Vigne’ in the Store for the day.)

Between all three, the opportunity to load up on a case of Tuscan treasures is tempting, is it not??

Lazzara started producing Brunello in 2015, founded by our friend Charles Lazzara and his wife Angela. He has a head of black hair that belies his age and a winning smile that could sell ketchup popsicles to a woman in white gloves. Charles has been importing Italian wine for nearly twenty years. And he noticed something…

There are less expensive, fruit forward, easy drinking Sangiovese bottles galore. And there’s serious, brooding, powerful Brunello. But finding something that bridges the gap – a wine worthy of your finest Zalto glasses and critical praise that’s equally deserving of sharing liberally over a pizza while watching the game – that’s rare.

So, he made one.

Blending fruit from the cool climate microclimates north of the city of Montalcino with the warmer sites in the region’s south, ‘Libero’ merges elegance and finesse with dense, ripe fruit and plenty of structure.

We absolutely loved it! Pouring an opaque purple-ruby color, a quick swirl and the glass is overflowing complex aromas. On the palate, it is like an Oscar-winning action film, layered and intense with edge-of-your-seat excitement but also heartwarming and so enjoyable you’ll want to go back again, and again. It’s got a ripeness and richness that will charm even a new world palate (just ask Agent Cru!). All while retaining the savory depth we love about great Brunello.

Again, no scores yet – but the 2019 got a 94 from Wine Enthusiast and Charles and I both think this one is better… 2020 is highly renowned as a vintage, and we’re expecting big things for this wine!

The only catch – at $36 it’s gonna fly.

Grab a case, or you’ll wish you had…
