Subtle aromas of dried rose petal, thyme, dehydrated cherry, and anise unfold in the 2016 Vigna del Fiore Brunello. The palate is pure with dried raspberry, tea leaf, orange peel, and saline minerality. With classic and angular, structured tannins, and energetic acidity, all its components are in balance and there is complexity in its transparency. This is a traditional wine with finesse that should stand the test of time. Enjoy 2024–2036.

Toasted walnuts, tobacco and leather of red cherry and violet aromas. Quite chewy and slightly warm.

Winery Notes

The Vigna del Fiore is an unique vineyard: its 14 acres (5.7 hectares) are situated in an area where the vine is cultivated by our family since the XVI century. It is one of the southernmost and oldest vineyard in the whole area of the Brunello di Montalcino. The particular exposition and the composition of the soil give to this Brunello special qualities, with a very elegant bouquet and an harmonic and complex taste.

The Brunello Vigna del Fiore has been produced since 1981; for its harmony and charm it can be drunk and appreciated from the earlier years in bottle, despite being a wine with an excellent capacity of ageing.
