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. 

These wines are not available online please email or call us for details.
