Rosso di Montalcino
2016
Gianni Brunelli was from an old Montalcino family. He dedicated his life to upholding the local traditions of great food, wine and hospitality.

The 2016 vintage is exceptional, characterized by warm and very balanced growing season although somehow rainy during May. Careful and precise work at the vineyard provided us with healthy and strong vines and optimum physiological and phenolic ripening of the grapes.
The wine has a dark ruby colour, with intense bramble fruit, black cherry, blood orange and floral notes. Palate is rich and plush maintaining however a crisp acidity, sound balance and signature fine tannic structure of Gianni Brunelli. Enjoy now but has the potential to keep and blossom into a more complex wine up to the next 12 years.
Subtle aromas of sunbaked earth, ripe berry and camphor take shape in the glass along with a floral note. The elegant palate is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, offering tart red cherry, ground clove and a hint of mocha alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2024.
