Terre Nere Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2019

A powerful yet composed Riserva from the dark soils of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, where altitude, constant breeze, and volcanic minerality shape something quietly profound. Terre Nere’s 2019 Riserva opens with an evolved, aromatic nose — wild dark berries, sweet tobacco, worn leather, and a thread of wild herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied but never heavy: lush, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity carry it through a long, grounded finish.

This is a wine with presence — not showy, but deeply rooted. It’s an ideal gift for the collector or Brunello devotee, with aging potential and immediate appeal.

“An intense and evolved nose of precise sweet tobacco with wild dark berries allied to leathery tones and aromatic herbs… lush and velvety with ripe tannins and full body, refreshing acidity and a long, solid finish. Drink or hold.” — James Suckling, 94 pts
