This is a combination of a fantastic vineyard (next to the iconic Bondi-Santi), a vintage that Tuscan wine expert James Suckling called one of Brunello’s “greatest vintages ever,” and the winery that landed the #3 spot on WS’s 2020 Top 100 Wines list. Rarely do you find a Montalcino red that combines this kind of elegance, power, complexity, and depth of fruit—let alone at less than half that price.

Outer quote mark Plenty of balsamic aromas preview this red, settling into a core of macerated cherry and plum fruit, framed by juniper, thyme, Scotch broom, tar and iodine. Racy and harmonious, with a solid layer of tannins underneath.
James Suckling 96 Points
Outer quote mark A serene and intensely structured Brunello with cherry, cedar, walnut and dry-earth aromas with some burnt-lemon undertones. Full-bodied, yet with very fine tannins that are extremely polished and beautiful. Goes on for minutes. A gorgeous young wine.

Outer quote mark The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino has aromatics of dried cherry, licorice, and menthol and cedar. The palate is upfront with firmly structured tannins, crunchy red plum, tomato leaf, incense, and orange zest. It was aged for two years in a combination of barriques and large barrel.
