Tasting note
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese should show red cherry, dried rose and savory herbs, with a dark earthy note beneath. The 2016 Terre Nere is expected to combine lively acidity with firm tannins, giving its ripe fruit a steady, finely textured shape. Its listed peak reaches 2038 within a window to 2046; a long dry finish should carry cherry into spice and a gentle mineral impression.
