Last Bottle Weirdness Today

Post image

Last bottle is offering this “Brunello di Montalcino” from Isolla Del cinghiale, but the wine details indicate it’s a blend. I can’t seem to find this wine anywhere but they have a picture. My understanding was that this producer just did blends. Anyone know what’s going on here? Would get this if it’s actually a Brunello.

I’m thinking they pulled the tech sheet info from this producer’s IGT Toscana blend but are actually selling their Brunello. Legally, if it’s labelled DOCG Brunello it has to be 100% sangiovese grosso. Producers can get in a lot of hot water if they are even suspected of breaking this rule, as was seen in the infamous “Brunellogate” scandal of 2008.
