Piancornello Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

Deep red in color with aromas of gingerbread and wild berries. Rich and gripping tannins are complemented by lovely acidity and a savory finish.

Critical Acclaim

96 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is faithful to Sangiovese with perfumed aromas of crushed flower, ferrous earth, redcurrant and grilled rosemary. This pretty wine is nicely balanced and elegant with a mid-weight approach and a terrific sense of aromatic purity and delivery. That underlying power does continue to the palate, where the wine is tightly stitched together and quite determined in length. The tannins do a good job of keeping the wine tight and focused. This is another impressive effort from Piancornello.

94 James Suckling

Plum, dried-berry, cherry and rose-stem aromas follow through to a medium body with firm, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows length and structure, yet a creamy mouth feel. Lovely craftsmanship to this. Drink in 2024 and onwards.
