Fratelli D'Anna Brunello di Montalcino 2016 other spirits Using their own Kameshizuku sweetTo the winemaker Anthony D'Anna, all the wines falling under Fratelli D'Anna represent what he likes and expects from the region and grape varietal. An idea came to him whilst reading Kermit Lynch's Adventures of the Wine Route who on visiting vineyards and wineries, made offers to buy selected barrels to be finished off to his specifications. When D'Anna thinks of this, it takes the notion of importing wines you love from a region, one step further.
