Red wine

San Polino, Brunello di Montalcino 2016

RRP £38.30

Luigi Fabre and Katia Nussbaum are biodynamic producers who make a fruit-focused, joyful style of Brunello and with the 2016 they have taken another leap forward. This is beautifully integrated, with refined tannins. Aromas and flavours of subtle, sweet oak spice, cedar and bright cherry, juicy acidity and a lively yet weightless texture. Already beautifully poised and balanced.
