Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona, Brunello di Montalcino 2016
CRITIC REVIEWS
Walter Speller
Fermentation in stainless-steel and glass-lined concrete tanks. Aged for over 24 months in 20- to 75-hl Slavonian oak casks, followed by eight months in bottle. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite mellow on the nose with hints of tobacco leaf. Supple rich and easy-going with good acidity but the fruit is quite rich and already developing. Could be a little edgier. (WS)
James Suckling
Lots of red and blue fruit to this, evolving into wet leaves, freshly turned soil and brewed tea. Light herbal notes. Sweet cherries, too. Its full bodied with silky, firm tannins. More minerality and tea notes on the finish. Elegant and driven. Drink after 2023.
