Tosco's word

Fattoria dei Barbi's Brunello, at €63, holds its own with a rating of 8.0 and real guide recognition, but it's the right choice if you want a Sangiovese Grosso from Montalcino without spending more. Camigliano's Riserva, at €75, climbs in recognition (3 bicchieri, 3 Veronelli stelle, 5 Bibenda grappoli) and adds organic certification, so for an age-worthy bottle or a celebration dinner, it wins. For everyday meals or a small budget, stick with Barbi.
