Renieri Brunello di Montalcino 2016
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Don't miss this exceptional 96-point Brunello. It's from Marco Bacco's Renieri estate, “an excellent producer of Brunello”, said Wine Advocate. It may not have quite equalled the 100 points of 2015, but James Suckling was still '96-point' impressed.

The Red Wine
Renieri is owned by its grand neighbour, Marco Bacci's historic, much lauded Castello di Bossi. The same care goes into the wines of both estates. Renieri boasts 128 hectares of land, within which lie 30 hectares of vines, in the southern stretch of Montalcino. The prized vineyards for the Brunello all lie at 350 to 420 metres altitude, some of the highest in the appellation and were replanted in 1998 to meet the high specifications of the team. Meticulous work in the vineyards and ageing in a mix of small barriques and traditional larger botti barrels result in a wine of amazing power and bold, dense fruit, with the freshness and structure to enable it to age a couple of decades at least. Delicious now; will cellar magnificently.
"Very refined. So much beautiful fruit and polish with dark-berry, cedar, walnut and cherry character"
James Suckling
