The Luciani family has been crafting fine wines in Tuscany since 1888, so they’re drawing on generations of expertise to bring you this fine Brunello di Montalcino. Aged 36 months in premium Slavonian oak barrels, this stunner is a perfect example of everything that critics love about these ethereal red wines. And, like all fine-caliber Brunello, it has years of pleasure ahead of it...if you can bear to wait that long.
Even better, this fine Brunello arrives with three 90+ point scores:
"A very pleasing tannin texture and full, delicious fruit. It’s very balanced, with plenty of dark cherry, light chocolate and spice." 93 points, critic James Suckling.
“Aromas of violet, leather and spice emerge from the glass. The linear palate is already accessible, offering black cherry, star anise and toasted almond alongside polished tannins.” 90 points, Wine Enthusiast.
"Spicy and floral with scents of dusty rose, cedar box and citrus-tinged black cherry. It coasts along the palate in silky waves, delivering ripe wild berry fruits and inner herbal tones motivated by zesty acidity. It remains fresh and lively through the finale. 90 points, Vinous.
As you can see, this is definitely a bottle to pour for a special occasion. Enjoy it alongside hearty roasted meats, creamy risottos and more.
Between the major acclaim and the Luciani family’s quality-focused approach, it should come as no surprise that we have very limited cases of this beautiful Brunello. First come, first served.
