2016 Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 0,75lt.
This Riserva is somewhat delicate in terms of mouthfeel; however, it is powerful and long, with high alcohol, polished tannins and a silky texture. A hint of sweet cherry mixed with menthol freshness pulls it together. On top of that healthy and bright primary material, the wine layers on elegant aromas of spice, ferrous earth, balsam herb, and red rose potpourri. The aromas meet with seamless integration and segue to ongoing depth and complexity offered to the palate.
