il Palazzone 'Le Due Porte' - Brunello di Montalcino

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Italy is a real show - stopper! Widely hailed as an exceptional vintage, the growing season had near - perfect weather, resulting in well - balanced, age - worthy wines full of depth, finesse, and structure. On the palate, it offers smooth, silky tannins and flavors of red cherry, black plum, and licorice. The finish has subtle hints of leather and stone. It's enjoyable right now but will keep evolving gracefully for decades ahead.

This 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is best served at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. Before drinking, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour to open up its flavors. You can enjoy it on its own as a treat, or pair it with rich, savory dishes like grilled steak or lamb. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. This wine will continue to develop nicely over time, so if you have the patience, it can be a great addition to your wine collection.
