Notes from Astor:
"Flavio Fanti, owner of the family estate La Palazzetta, represents one of Montalcino's elite sources of limited-production Brunello, a full-bodied red wine that comes in many shapes and sizes. His ten acres of Sangiovese Grosso in picturesque Castelnuovo dell'Abate is home to several of the zone's finest parcels."
