2016 Ridolfi Brunello di Montalcino

2016 Ridolfi Brunello di Montalcino

2016 Ridolfi Brunello di Montalcino was just awarded 95 points and a Gold Medal in the Decanter World Wine Awards. They said “Spicy nose displaying hints of paprika, finocchiona and dried strawberry with peppery notes and cocoa nuances. Savoury on the palate with a long tasty finish.” An incredible Brunello value!

Among Italy’s elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.
