The Brilliant 2011 Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello
Ciacci Piccolomini is a top tier Brunello producer—there’s no doubt about that. They produce wines that are sought after by serious connoisseurs—they have power, grace and ageability (in short, all the things you would look for in good Brunello). That’s without regard to price, as well—even if the cost of the bottles doubled overnight, there would still be significant demand for the wines.
Moet’s Grand Vintage bottling sits a tier below Dom Perignon and above their ubiquitous NV bottlings. Despite the incredible jump in quality from the low-end stuff, it’s much less expensive than Dom. The price we were able to secure on this was incredible, as well, compounding the relative value of the bottling. For not much more than the Imperial, you can enjoy the Grand Vintage, at least until we run out—we’re not likely to score this sort of pricing again any time soon!
