($58, Kobrand Wine & Spirits):  In addition to their Rosso di Montalcino, Tenuta Silvio Nardi producers three Brunelli, all of which are different and all of which I recommend highly.  Indeed, their two single vineyard bottlings show the diversity of this region.  But first, their “regular” 2012 Brunello, though there is nothing regular about it.  Sangiovese from several vineyards spread over the Montalcino zone goes into this fine Brunello.  Not overblown, it shows the classical Nardi elegance and restraint.  There’s plenty of power here, but it’s combined with a gracefulness and polish.  Long and balanced, it’s a delight to drink now, though it undoubtedly with gain complexity with additional bottle age.
