A fine-tannined and pretty Brunello with currant, walnut and floral aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied, firm and focused. Drink after 2022.

Redolent of dark, earthy forest, the inaugural vintage of Chiuso del Lupo brings together underbrush and ripe wild berries with menthol and floral accents. Sweet, plush fruit is countered by a salty tang, its tannins expansive but not aggressive; just youthful and chewy. This is selected from a one-hectare plot reaching a lofty altitude of 550 metres. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeast, and ageing is in 30hL French oak cask.

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Chiuso del Lupo is dark and understated in the glass, as nuances of leather and cedar give way to hints of black cherry. Within, I’m finding a silky, pliant expression, with a core of savory red berries and spices lifted by bright acidity. It tapers off structured and a bit chewy, yet potent and long. The Chiuso del Lupo would benefit from another two to three years of cellaring to show its best.
