The Story
Cantina di Montalcino 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino is an earthy, full-bodied red from the Tuscany wine region. Fragrant on the nose and rich on the palate with ripe black plum, dark cherry, clove, cigar box, dark chocolate and smoky flavours concentrated on the palate. Tannins are grippy and the wine would benefit from a few more years in cellar to marry and mellow.
95 Points - James Suckling
This has a complex nose of black plums, cloves and cigar smoke. Lots of chocolate. It's full-bodied with good depth and intensity. Firm but ripe tannins. Chocolate and cherries on the finish.
87 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Tilled soil, ripe dark-skinned fruit and culinary-spice aromas emerge from the glass. The bracing palate is lean in terms of fruit richness, offering prune, clove and bitter almond notes alongside assertive tannins that lead to a drying finish. Drink after 2023.
