It is a Reserve with a strong personality, designed to express elegance, depth, and an authentic sense of terroir, with limited production and a careful selection of grapes from the oldest vineyards of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is born from the union of two estate parcels, \u003cstrong\u003eVigna Vecchia Mercatale\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVigna Montosoli Filari Lunghi\u003c\/strong\u003e, two complementary interpreters of Montalcino. The altitudes and different exposures contribute to defining a complex profile, supported by slow maturation and a beautiful taste tension. The clayey, galestro-rich soils, rich in mineral components help to build structure, sapidity, and depth, while the 2016 vintage favored a particularly successful balance between richness and freshness. Aging in large Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months completes a classic, noble, and long-lasting imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents the typical austere and refined character of \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e, with an intense color and evolving nuances that hint at the wine's structure. On the nose, aromas of ripe fruit, balsamic notes, spicy accents, and mineral hints emerge, in a complex and highly refined ensemble. On the palate, it is broad, deep, and well-defined, with dense yet elegant tannins, a still vibrant freshness, and a pronounced sapidity that supports the sip.
