Andrea Cortonesi embodies the vigneron spirit in Montalcino to the maximum. Every year I visit the estate and taste through all or most of the wines in the cellar with Cortonesi. When the wines are young they are often thrilling, but they don't always evolve well in barrel, which is the case with the 2009 Brunello and 2008 Riserva, both of which probably spent too much time in barrel given the mid-weight structure of those years.
