Brunello di Montalcino 2016 | Drinking Now

The balmy days of August have had us dreaming of sun-drenched lunches overlooking rolling Tuscan landscapes. What better way to recreate such a summer idyl than with a bottle of perfectly cellared 2016 Brunello di Montalcino: an exceptional vintage given 99 points by The Wine Advocate.   

In the hands of two of the region’s most well-regarded estates, Tenuta Nardi and La Casa Caparzo, the natural bounty of the 2016 vintage was transformed into stellar wines with great depth, elegance and intensity. After years of careful cellaring, these magnificent wines have really hit their stride, and we’d highly recommend having a case or two delivered. They certainly won’t disappoint.

  • Wine Advocate, November 2020, Score: 95+

    The Tenute Silvio Nardi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino makes a big impact in the glass thanks to its dark color saturation and the pretty intensity of its aromas that range from dark fruit and plum to soft potting soil and grilled herb. You get beautiful balance here, even more so when you allow the bottle to breathe for a few hours. A twofold delivery of freshness and tannic backbone gives the wine the DNA required to hold 10 years or more. Drink 2023-2043.

    The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Silvio Nardi is dark and earthy with a bit of a rustic edge that I find quite attractive. Floral undergrowth and rich soil tones give way to crushed black cherries with hints of brown spice. There’s a combination of ripe primary fruit and zesty acids, which creates an appealing and juicy expression, even as grippy tannins slowly mount toward the close. Remnants of licorice, mocha and tobacco linger, along with the slightest hint of heat, which doesn’t get in the way. The 2016 Tenute Silvio Nardi won’t require more than a few years of cellaring to show its best. Drink 2024-2030.

    Aromas of berry, toffee and chocolate with cherry undertones. It’s full-bodied with a tight, focused palate with ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Tight and polished. Needs bottle age to open and show its true potential. Try after 2023.

    The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa takes a little time to collect itself in the glass, pulling you closer as white smoke gives way to crushed stone, then peppery florals, wild strawberry and cedar. The textures are like pure silk, with an elegant display of savory black cherry and spice complicated by salty minerals. This shows amazing density while never feeling heavy, nearly masking its fine-grained tannins until the very end, where hints of orange citrus and dried berries linger. The 2016 La Casa is a beauty with plenty of upside potential. Drink 2026 – 2038. Eric Guido - VINOUS
