Belpoggio Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva 2016

A premium and masterfully structured Italian red wine sourced from a legendary Tuscan vintage. The palate delivers an opulent, multi-dimensional profile of dark cherry, wild blackberry, and ripe pomegranate, intricately layered with sophisticated tertiary elements of saddle leather, dark chocolate, tobacco, and wild Mediterranean herbs. It features a full-bodied texture defined by robust, tightly woven tannins and an electric vein of traditional acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, structured, and aristocratically dry.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with roasted wild game, grilled Florentine steak, braised beef shanks, and mature pecorino cheeses.

93 Points - James Suckling 

Lots of bark, cherry, dried-flower and rose-stem aromas follow through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with firm tannins and a tight, chewy finish. Better after 2023.

89 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

This opens with aromas of eucalyptus oil, wild herb and saddle leather. On the linear, no-fuss palate, dusty, drying tannins accompany black cherry and licorice while bright acidity keeps it light on its feet. Drink 2022–2026.
