Red Wine La Fiorita 2016 Reserva Brunello Di Montalcino

100% Sangiovese Grosso clone from the southeast-facing Pian Bossolino. The Riserva is only produced in years when the harvest is considered to be an exceptional vintage. The wine ferments in Slavonian casks and then ages 12 months in new and used French oak and 12 months in Slavonian oak – 24 months in wood, 6 months in steel and 30 months in bottle before release.
The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with only 3,900 bottles made) shows a dark and nicely saturated appearance followed by fruit-forward aromas of dark cherry, cassis, spice, moist soil, balsam herb and fresh pine cone. This pretty wine reveals all the classic characteristics of Brunello and they are presented with elegant and lasting intensity. The tannins and acidity are firmly developed in this vintage and pave the way for longer cellar aging potential and future evolution.
