This 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Abbadia Ardenga’s Cru Vigna Piaggia is a stunning expression of Sangiovese, earning a well-deserved 95 points from James Suckling. Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Montalcino, it showcases a captivating bouquet of ripe cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of tobacco, inviting you into its complex profile. On the palate, the wine is both rich and elegant, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish that reveals layers of dark fruit and subtle spice. Ideal for a special dinner featuring hearty pasta dishes or grilled meats, this wine not only impresses but also delivers remarkable value, making it a smart buy for anyone looking to elevate their collection.
