Castiglion del Bosco, Brunello Montalcino Millecento Riserva Vintage:2016 Luciano Sandrone and his daughterThis red reveals both power and finesse, with intense aromas of truffle, black currant, violet and iron leading off, backed by saturated dark berry fruit, floral, leather and tobacco flavors. Big, muscular tannins grab hold of the finish, with ample fruit in reserve. Best from 2026 through 2045. 834 cases made, 15 cases imported. Published on June 30, 2022
