FANTI

Brunello di Montalcino 2016

- 16 points -

Aged for 24 months in oak barrels, of which 50% was barrique and 50% large 30-hl oak casks.
Mid ruby. Intriguing, savoury-sweet spice nose that still is a little closed on the fruit. Very slowly and with lots of aeration cherry fruit emerges. Fragrant, tangy and almost a little tart on the palate, while the finish shows a better balance between the fruit, the plentiful acidity and the coating tannins. The fruit concentration is just enough to counteract the acidity.
