SAN FILIPPO Le Lucére Brunello di Montalcino 2016

SAN FILIPPO

The Wine Estate San Filippo lies in the heart of the most beautiful part of the Tuscan countryside, just two kilometres from Montalcino. This landscape, with its magnificent vineyards where the Brunello is made, and the yellow cornfields of the Val d’Orcia, has been declared a World Heritage site by Unesco.
The San Filippo estate is actually a small hamlet. The main farmhouse, which also comprises a small chapel that is still consecrated, dates to 1672, as proved by various documents that are still conserved in the parish archives of Montalcino.

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO LE LUCÉRE

• The colour is ruby red with reflexes verging on garnet.
• The perfume is intense, fine and elegant, with notes of cherries preserved in alcohol, enriched with spices redolent of cinnamon and cloves.
• On the palate it explodes in all its fineness and elegance thanks to the dense and silky tannins. Excellent body that renders the flavour harmonious and persistent. Excellent nose-mouth correspondence.

James Suckling – 100 pts vintage 2015

“Decadent aromas of ripe fruit, such as plums and peaches with black truffles and porcini mushrooms. Full body, with layers of ripe fruit and round and chewy tannins. Lots of chocolate and fresh mushroom at the finish. A thoroughly terroir-driven red. Try after 2022.”
