Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Uccelliera 2006

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva flows with the essence of dark cherries, blackberries, flowers, violets, licorice and spices, all supported by firm, structured tannins. The 2006 boasts striking inner perfume, big fruit and a huge, explosive finish. The 2006 Riserva is surprisingly vibrant, focused and balanced for such a big wine. The Riserva was made from the estate's highest altitude vineyards and aged one year in barrique and a second year in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.
