Tasting Notes

The 2016 Brunello exhibits crushed cherries intertwined with autumnal spices. In the next moment, it unveils exotic florals and hints of candied orange peels. At other times, it offers notes of flowery undergrowth, white smoke, and wild berries. This Brunello is remarkably soft and pure, gracefully lifted by saline minerals, while sweet nuances of cherry and raspberry slowly saturate the palate. However, it leaves behind a foundation of youthful, grippy tannins. Considering the remarkable structure of the 2016, the Poggio di Sotto Brunello is undeniably an outstanding achievement and a future classic in the making.

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

James Suckling.com

A chewy, dusty-textured red with lots of intense tannins and fresh blue fruit, as well as black cherries and some orange-peel undertones. It’s full-bodied and tight with firm tannins at the end. Closed. Give it another two or three years to come around.

Robert Parker

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.

Jancis Robinson

Just mid ruby. Finely perfumed, minerally nose with touches of sweet raspberry and cherry. Compact palate of youthful sweet fruit. Stunning balance between embryonic sweet fruit, supple acidity and long, finely chiselled tannins. Real precision.
