“The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva lifts up with elegance and richness, as sweet as lavender and violets give way to a more savory display of black cherries, Tuscan dust and cedar box with hints of cooling mint. This rushes the palate with sweet red fruits and spices, silky yet lifted, and displaying a delicacy not expected from the Riserva category, yet quite welcome. Beneath is a core of power and density just waiting to unfold. Minerality comes through the finale, mingling with a fine coating of tannin and hints of spicy citrus. This harmonious Burnello will have a very long life. The Riserva is a selection of two Brunello barrels, one tonneau and one large cask, from Romitorio's cellar. Simply stunning.”
