Take a look at the incredible notes and ratings below. Did we mention this was just $29.99 per bottle? Oh .. right. We did. Enjoy!
"What I most like about the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is its sense of purity and focus. This wine delivers a straight-shooting and honest interpretation of Sangiovese. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry, pressed flower and moist earth. Background aromas include exotic spice and tobacco. In all, this Brunello offers a savory and dry mouthfeel with good potential for further aging evolution. Some 20,000 bottles are made." - 92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Monica Larner)
"Good full red. Aromas and flavours of minty red currant, crushed rocks, and orange peel. At once plump and juicy, with an impressive delicacy on the smooth but vibrant, long finish. Youthful but finely grained tannins need another couple of years to resolve fully. One of the best young Capanne Ricci Brunellos I have memory of." - 91+ Points Antonio Galloni's Vinous (Ian D'Agata)
"Pretty ripe fruit and hints of fresh mushrooms and wet earth. Medium to full body, polished, velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Drink in 2020" - 93 Points James Suckling
"Red berry, pressed violet, tilled earth and new leather are some of the aromas you'll find on this. On the concentrated palate, notes of licorice, clove and tobacco accent a core of black cherry set against a backbone of firm fine-grained tannins. A coffee note wraps up the finish." - 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
3) 2012 was another incredible year for Brunello buyers

Those of you who haven't started stocking up on the brilliant 2012's should for sure start now! Many of the top releases are on the market now and today's offer is one to put at the top of your list!
If your collection has wines from vintages like 2010, 2007, 2006 and others, make sure you seek out the 2012's as well. Demand for wines from this vintage has been on fire since the first few wines hit the market and this is certainly no exception.
The “Tenimenti Ricci” Estate located in Sant’Angelo is one of the older and more traditional rural establishments in this area of Brunello production. Ferruccio Ricci and his sister Ida, who manage the estate, are deeply rooted in family traditions and Montalcinese wine making, with a modern and youthful approach. The cellar has been recently restored and equipped with temperature conditioning rooms. There, the wine is made, aged in barrels made of Slovanian oak and then bottled. The vineyards cover about 12 hectares concentrating on the Sangiovese grape, planted in a privileged position on the land.
All in all, this is a tremendous buy for any red wine lover on this list! Grab it while it lasts!
