This deeply satisfying Brunello is super intense and supremely delicious thanks to the approachable nature of the prized 2016 vintage. Initial flavors include layers upon layers of ripe red fruit, smoky oak, flowers and chocolate. The palate is delicious and fresh, with red and black cherries, tobacco, dried flowers, spices and olive tapenade. Wonderful acidity and firm tannins to balance well with rich pasta ragout or grilled meats. The most complete and complex new Brunello we have tasted from this famous producer. THE vintage to get for your cellar. Enjoy now (decanting recommended prior to 2025) through 2030.
