2016 Brunello di Montalcino Azienda Pietroso

Suckling 91 points: Aromas of cherries, dried flowers, walnuts and dark chocolate. It's medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Silky expression. Drink from 2022.

Dunnuck 98+ points: The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is rich in aromatics of black raspberry, menthol, sage, and lavender. It is fruit forward upfront, with pure cherry fruit, balsamic, and black tea with classically structured tannins and acidity that lifts off the palate and a long finish. It was aged for 6 months in tonneaux followed by two years in large barrels. Cellar 2-4 years and enjoy 2024-2036.
