The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from San Felice displays rich black cherry and plum with complements of sweet spice, cedar shavings and cooling mintiness. The textures are silky, ushing in a polished mix of red/black berries laced with salty minerals. It’s medium in body and youthfully compact; yet it is also showing a glimpse of what’s to come, as inner florals build over notes of licorice and cloves. A web of fine tannins coat all that they touch in youthful poise, as this tapers off with violet inflections. This is a very nice expression of the 2016 vintage form southern Montalcino.

The area of Montalcino is the most arid of all the Tuscan DOCG zones, so the wines tend to be intensely flavoured and well-balanced. Campogiovanni is the name of this particular site.
Total ageing necessary for a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is 48 months, with a minimum period of two years in oak and four months in bottle.
