Description

2016 Brunello di Montalcino, Gemini, Riserva, La Serena, Tuscany, ItalyThis is a strict single vineyard selection from the top of the farm. Its always last to be harvested. Twenty days of natural fermentation and gentle maceration are followed by 36 months in the same 71 hectolitre botti. The 2016 vintage is intense and beautifully elegant. Savoury and weighty with spiced coffee notes and minerality, this needs time. Drink 2026 2045 Davy yw, Senior Wine Buyer, Berry Bros. & Rudd (Feb 2022)
