For this 2016 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino, an exceptional vintage, expect a complex nose of ripe red and black cherries, wild berries, and plums, interwoven with nuances of dried herbs, leather, tobacco, and forest floor. On the palate, it will be powerful yet elegantly structured, with firm, fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish. Hints of balsamic, cedar, and spice may emerge with aeration.
