Savory and pure, with perfumed aromatics of dried flowers, red cherry, and dusty earth, the ripe cherry fruit of the 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino Terre Nere Campigli Vallone opens on the mid-palate, giving way to its classic structure, which is focused and linear, with refreshing acid and fine-grained tannins. Drink 2022-2032.

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up pretty flowery perfumes with hints of clove, allspice and dusty black cherries. It's silky and seamless in the mouth, with an elegant expression of polished red fruits offset by hints of sour citrus and spice, as inner florals amass toward the close. Classically dry and lightly structured, this finishes on refinement and purity but with the potential for medium-term cellaring. This is one of the best young wines I've ever tasted from Terre Nere.

Aromas of violet, leather and underbrush lead the nose. The forward, juicy palate offers mature black cherry, white pepper and cinnamon alongside polished tannins. Drink through 2029.
