Brunello di Montalcino Master Class: Unlocking Tuscany’s Greatest Treasure

Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s most celebrated wines—a wine of patience, prestige, and profound character.

Yet, walk into any wine shop, and you’ll find bottles ranging from $40 to over $500. Why?

Because when a wine becomes legendary, not all Brunello is created equal. Some wines ride the wave of fame, while others define it.

That’s why this Master Class isn’t about labels. It’s about origin. About what makes Brunello truly extraordinary—its soil, its climate, its history, and the winemakers who refuse to compromise.

In this exclusive deep dive into Montalcino, author Tony Margiotta will guide you through a three-vintage vertical tasting and uncover the secrets behind Brunello’s power, finesse, and aging potential.

What You’ll Discover in This Master Class:
🍷 The Myth & The Reality – How Brunello went from an obscure experiment to a world-class wine in just over a century.

🌿 The Red Lands of Montalcino – The rarest and most prized vineyard soils—the ones that make Brunello legendary.

⏳ Aging Like No Other – What makes Brunello one of the longest-lived wines in the world and why time is its greatest asset.

🔥 The Heroic South of Montalcino – How extreme conditions forge some of the most powerful, structured, and awe-inspiring Brunellos ever made.

🍇 A Three-Year Vertical Tasting (2017, 2018, 2019) – A rare opportunity to taste three distinct Brunello vintages side by side, comparing climate, structure, and evolution.

🛡️ Meet Corte dei Venti – One of the smallest artisan producers in Montalcino, crafting just 10,500 bottles of Brunello each year. That may sound like a lot, but consider this—some of the biggest producers in the region churn out over 200,000 bottles, relying on machine harvesting. Corte dei Venti remains fiercely committed to traditional, hands-on winemaking, where every grape is nurtured, every bottle tells a story, and every sip transports you to the mountainesque terrain of Montalcino.

ONE TIME OFFER $65 (retail $95): 2019 Brunello di Montalcino by Corte dei Venti: A Vintage That Stands Tall. You’ve had Brunello before. You know the name, the prestige, the reverence. But 2019? This isn’t just another vintage. This is the one collectors whisper about, the one connoisseurs are stockpiling, the one that will be remembered. The Consortium of Brunello di Montalcino—the gatekeepers of this legendary wine—bestowed the 2019 vintage with a rare and coveted 5-star rating. A declaration of excellence. A signal to the world that this is not just good Brunello—it’s the kind that makes history. And history has a way of surprising us. For years, 2015 and 2016 were the undisputed kings of Brunello. The vintages that set the standard, that filled cellars, that everyone assumed would reign for decades. But then came 2019—with its perfect balance of elegance and power, depth and precision—and suddenly, the conversation shifted. Because 2019 isn’t here to follow in their footsteps. It’s here to challenge them. To compete with the coveted 2015 and 2016 vintages—and maybe, just maybe, cast a long shadow over them. A near-perfect growing season. Cool nights, warm days, just the right amount of struggle. The kind of conditions that don’t just make a great Brunello—they make a legendary one. The 2019 Brunello is bold, structured, and destined for greatness. Rich with dark cherries, crushed violets, and the kind of earthy depth that only time will fully unveil. And yet, here’s the catch—when it’s gone, it’s gone. No second chances. No re-releases. Just one fleeting opportunity to own a piece of history. You already planned to buy a bottle. But let’s be honest—you’ll regret not grabbing a second. Years from now, when you're opening that last bottle, swirling the glass, inhaling its evolution, you’ll wish you had just one more. So consider this your one-time offer—a chance to secure an extra bottle of the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino by Corte del Venti at a price that won’t come again. Because the best things in life? They never last long.
