VINUM 17/20
Noch etwas verschlossene Blume mit Beeren-, Trockenblumen- und Ledernoten; Kompakte Textur, akzentuierte Säure, die Tannine geschliffen, das Finale klassisch-elegant. Zuverlässig und mit Potenzial.

Rich and opulent aromas of crushed berries, meat, earth and fresh flowers. It’s full-bodied and dense with intense, ripe tannins, as well as wild-fruit character. Wet-earth and crushed-tile undertones. Extremely long and flavorful. Give it time to open and mellow. Great single-vineyard wine. Try after 2023
VINOUS 94 POINTS
While the straight Brunello di Montalcino has a somewhat jovial and immediate feel, the 2016 Vigna Montosoli takes things to a darker and much more serious place. Black earth,minerals tar and licorice slowly give way to crushed cherries and balsamic spice. It’s velvety and deeply textural, ushering in a compact and almost-weighty display of ripe primary fruits, yet all perfectly framed by brillant acids which maintain balance. There’s lovely inner sweetness here, that I can,’t wait to experience once its grippy tannins resolve. The 2016 finishes on structure, further complicated by a coating of concentrated tart wild berries and hints of licorice
