This wine also reveals a more vibrant and intact fruit character with immediate aromas of cherry, wild plum and rose. In all, this production of 3,800 bottles shows a careful, delicate approach that is in line with this classic, slightly cooler vintage.

Just mid ruby. Savoury with a hint of liquorice powder. VA? Subdued, sour cherry with slightly drying tannins. A little rustic. (WS)
A rather soft and juicy Brunello with cherry, chocolate, walnut and bark character. Itâs savory and fresh with lots going on. Very structured and polished. Goes on for minutes. Give it two to three years to come together. Try after 2023.
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto wafts up with an intense display of medicinal cherries, wild herbs and smoky crushed stone. This is pure and cool-toned, yet it offers the silkiest of textures and luxuriously ripe red fruits that balance the expression well. The Riserva Gualto tapers off lightly structured with balsam herbs and a subtle tug of grippy tannins. Don’t come here expecting a big strapping Riserva; the 2016 is all about charm.
