2016 Renieri, Brunello di Montalcino
“98 Point Brunello • Hurry, the last of the iconic 2016's are dwindling!”
Former #2 Wine of The Year • Another Renieri Blockbuster Release Is Among The Last Of The Great 2016's
It is no secret - 2017 Tuscany was challenging for all but the most skilled producers. Sure, there are some standouts in that vintage; but as a whole, production will be down and many producers did not produce their flagship wines.
That's why we are pounding the table on the last of the 2016's - an iconic vintage. We can't believe there is any 2016 Renieri Brunell di Montalcino remaining.
Hurry! The 2016's are dwindling rapidly...
"This is a go-to bottle if you want a first and memorable taste of the classic 2016 vintage." Wine Advocate
"Elegant and bohemian, it displays floral traits of hibiscus, walnut husk, chinotto, juniper berries, and burnt mandarin peel. In the background, small hints of sandalwood enhance the grace of the matrix. Full body, juicy, and perfectly velvety tannins extract in the matrix and a finish that shows a graceful and luminous balsamic closure." International Wine Review
From high elevation - 1300 feet - and among the southernmost vineyards in Montalcino, it is no wonder Renieri produces some of the most captivating and exotic Brunello with each and every release.
It is among the Brunello cherries you should grab in any vintage - and especially ahead of the challenging 2017's.
Enjoy over the next decade.

“A plush, fruit-forward, and accessible wine that captures the purity and elegance of the vintage.”
Wine Advocate • 94 / 100
"The Renieri 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is a plush, fruit-forward, and accessible wine that captures the purity and elegance of the vintage. The best take-away, however, is the fresh, ready, and bright state of this wine that makes it almost ready to enjoy straight out of the gate. This Brunello from a nine-hectare plot with limestone clay soils offers bold cherry and blackberry with delicate spice, smoke, and blue flower. The wine is marked by balanced acidity, and there is some tannic tightness that should further relax by the time this wine hits the market at the start of 2021. This is a go-to bottle (in a 50,000 bottle release) if you want a first and memorable taste of the classic 2016 vintage."
