Description
 
In Montalcino, the local Consorzio has limited growth so that you cannot flood the market with Brunello di Montalcino or Rosso di Montalcino and dilute the brand. If you want to, you have to pay someone in the region to rip up their vineyards. Plus the EU will not allow anyone to plant more grapes unless others rip theirs out.
What does all of the bureaucracy mean? It means that Luca Nannetti at Verbena cannot increase his production of Brunello or Rosso, but he has got more land and grapes. Enter the IGT, the label for Italian wines that do not conform to the regional rules. Nannettis Verbena IGT Rosso Toscano is 80% Sangiovese from the same vineyard his Rosso and Brunello come from, and not lesser selections either, with 10% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine is aged in stainless and is boldly rich and smooth, with lots of ripe cassis and cherry fruit. Drinkable now, and particularly good with spicy grilled sausage.
