Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2013

- 95 points -

Gianni Brunelli's Riserva always contains a high percentage of the estate's Vigna Olmo plot. A warm, south-facing site, it gives the wine its richness, however the schistose-galestro soil is rich in limestone and also imparts plenty of structure, while the lofty altitude of up to 500 metres confers beautifully precise aromas. The 2013 Riserva offers a restrained yet seductive nose of lavender, blood orange and moist earth. Silky tannins and luscious acidity back up the generously red-berried palate, giving a deceptive impression of lightness. This is all finesse and grace.
