Reviews

The 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino has a bright ruby hue and offers lifted and focused aromas of red cherries, orange zest, fresh roses, and stony earth. Medium-bodied and linear, it offers a vibrant energy with fresh acidity, refined, compact tannins, and a long finish. An outstanding vintage from Poggio di Sotto, this is one for the long haul. (
The beautiful 2016 Brunello di Montalcino possesses deep inner shine and a glossy nature that transcends the bouquet and the mouthfeel. The wine is redolent of dark plum and wild cherry, and those bright primary fruit tones descend into softer layers of rose hip and lavender sachet. The wine's acidity hits the palate with balanced determination and instantly livens up the senses. This classic vintage will be remembered for its length and pedigree.
