2016 Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Riserva Brunellos are limited to the finest grapes from a vintage.  With laws governing aging requirements, the 2016 Vitanza Riserva Brunello has been quietly resting six years, waiting for its big debut. A multiple Tre Bicchieri award-winning wine, the 2016 Vitanza Riserva is from a 99-point Wine Spectator vintage.  

Enjoy it now (feel free to decant).  The wine has plenty of gorgeous structure to lay it down for another decade. Plums and blackberries with cedar and flowers. Cool and fresh. Full-bodied with really fine tannins that are multilayered on the palate... Extremely well-crafted and structured." James Suckling

We love the wine's lush dark cherry and plum fruit.  Dried herbs give the wine exotic texture and an endless finish.  

Well worth the six year wait, this Brunello Riserva should be on your short list of Tuscan wines to enjoy this autumn and winter.  

Riserva Brunellos are typically priced well north of $100 per bottle  given the extra time the wine is aged - which makes this Riserva a steal!

Pair with anything mushroom or truffles as well as your favorite cut of meat or hearty fresh pasta dish. 

Cheers!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
