ready-keep2016 Brunello di Montalcino, Scopetone, Tuscany

From Scopetone’s original vineyards, this is a sleeping beauty. It’s matured in large oak casks for three years, followed by 12 months in cement, allowing the tannins to smooth out. The results are astonishing: the wine is composed and feels glossy, but has a lightness of touch. It combines the very best of Sangiovese: power, purity and perfume. Drink 2026-2038.
