On the 2016 Vintage of Brunello di Montalcino

"These are career-defining wines for many estates and for the appellation as a whole."
The Wine Advocate
On the 2016 Vintage of Brunello di Montalcino

Critics agree - the 2016 growing season is one of Montalcino’s best, yielding treasures like today’s bottles. If you're not familiar with Montalcino, think of it as Italy's Napa Valley. Like Napa, Montalcino enjoys a rare Mediterranean setting with a dry and sunny climate. And the wines? World-class. Cherries, ripe plums, and savory tobacco, even smoke and leather - you'll find all those flavors in a great Brunello. As well as in the world-class wines below. Which by the way have more power and more length as only wines from the very best vintages can express. So don't hesitate. We have a limited supply, and expect heavy demand, so BUY NOW.
