Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino 2016

Tuscany, Italy

$54.95 (306852)

This organic estate is located in Siena, overlooking the Orcia River.  The house style follows traditional production methods, with extended aging — a full 3 years — in the large Slovanian oak barrels before bottling. Once in bottle, wines are kept in the cellar at least a year before release. An age-worthy Brunello, this is still tightly wound, with attractive structure and full bodied character. The fragrant charm of sangiovese developed with aeration, offering cedar and floral notes. This needs time, but is sure to offer tremendous enjoyment down the road. Drink 2025 to 2036+. Highly Recommended. (93/100)
