Wine San Polino, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG, 2016

Description

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG, 2016 is an energetic and impressive wine made from Sangiovese grapes. In the Brunello di Montalcino orchestra, Riserva would be a cello, deep, resonant and powerful. This wine is produced only in the best years. 2016 is considered a benchmark in Montalcino: a moderately warm summer with cool nights preserved the freshness of the berries. The combination of fresh and dry nights during the late ripening period allowed the berries to reach perfect ripeness. Soils with a high content of limestone and volcanic tuff emphasized the elegance and depth of the vintage. Fermentation took place in oak vats with autochthonous yeast. Aging was carried out in 2 stages: 6 months in French barriques, then 4 years in large Slavonian oak barrels.
