Our 2016 Brunello di Montalcino wine tasting – Fornacina
Brunello di Montalcino 2016 – Fornacina
Fornacina’s Brunello di Montalcino 2016 wine reveals itself in the glass of an impenetrable ruby red color with garnet nuances.
The nose reveals itself austere and fine with notes that bring to mind ripe cherry and blood orange followed by pleasant notes of medicinal herbs, embellished with spicy tones, tobacco and licorice.
Pressing, opulent, harmonious, velvety and well balanced on the palate. Finale of excellent persistence in which the fruity-spicy registers echo.
After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for at least 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Subsequently, it is bottled and left to refine until the 4-year term is reached. Released on the market in the 5th year after harvest.
Fornacina’s Brunello di Montalcino is one of the most compelling interpretations of Brunello. An imaginative and elegant wine, rich in fruit and balsamic suggestions and sensational taste-olfactory balance. Fully among the best for sincere and territorial character.
