Burnello never cheap; Amarone never cheap.
But after Euro has fallen so much, is it right time to buy?
Moreover, can be stored for years.
A sad story of Brunello di Montalcino in 2012:
A recent act of vandalism destroyed 62,000 liters of six different vintages of Gianfranco Soldera's Brunello. At a midnight in early Dec, vandals broke into the Soldera estate and opened the valves of ten casks that were holding aging Brunello of vintages from 2007 to 2012. The wine lost in the incident amounts to more than 80,000 bottles. Police later arrested a former employee, who had a hatred for Soldera; he was eventually sentenced to 4 years in jail.
