Vintages like 2016 in Montalcino don’t come around very often .. and when they do, the wine disappears. So when we came across more of Renieri’s Brunello in this fantastic vintage at a “look twice” price … we pounced! Situated at 1,300 feet above sea level, Renier’s 75 acres of vine benefit from the Tuscany’s sundrenched days while the cool, crisp breeze offered at such elevations bolsters structure in the grapes. The hallmarks of great Brunello are finesse, power and structure … all of which were achieved with ease in the story like harvest of 2016.
Every major critic declared it a can’t miss harvest …
“98 Points: Brunello from 2016 … are poised for long-term success, they will undoubtedly be remembered as important highlights on a long timeline of vintages. These are career-defining wines for many estates and for the appellation as a whole.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
“99 Points: Textbook growing season resulted in wines of finesse and elegance, balance and harmony, with mostly red fruit flavors.” – Wine Spectator
We encourage you all to snap up as much as you can because there’s just not much of the 2016s hanging around, of any producer .. let alone one with this quality and such a great price! What’s more … we’re throwing in Free Shipping on all 4+ btl orders! (automatically applies during checkout)
