Notes | |||
"Intense bright red tending to garnet with aging. Intense, clean, characterized by spicy notes reminiscent of berries jam and pleasant shades of vanilla. A buttery scent inebriates the nose. Majestic on the palate, with a round and velvety body. The tannic plot is dense and enveloping, excellent persistence." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Molino del Piano is remarkably pretty, placing fruit first but in such an elegant and seductive way. Pretty strawberry and cherry dusted with sweet spice and flowery perfumes rise up from the glass. It’s silky with cooling acids and minerals lifting the expression, as tart raspberry and hints of spiced orange come forward. This is classically dry, coating the palate in remnants of primary fruit and round tannins, making for a perfectly balanced finale. Very nice." —Vinous "A pleasant Brunello with cherry, walnut and lightly toasted oak. Smoke, too. It’s medium-bodied with medium tannins and a juicy finish. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
