Brunello di Montalcino 2016 – Gianni Brunelli (Montalcino, Toscana)
Out of curiosity and drawn by the high ratings, I decided to taste the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Gianni Brunelli. This wine has an average score of 93.8 points based on 16 community reviews.
When poured, the wine presents a deep ruby red color. The bouquet is enticing, with aromas of rose petals, camphor, freshly turned earth, and perfumed berries. On the palate, the wine offers a lively and juicy structure with notes of red cherries, pomegranate, and star anise, supported by tight, refined tannins and a crisp acidity that provides a radiant and balanced finish.
