2016 | La Fiorita | Fiore di NO Brunello di Montalcino

Seductive floral fragrances of roses and violets, blueberries and blackberries, juniper, wild berries, fine spices, pink pepper, cinnamon and balsamic menthol reflexes.Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it has soft, well-diluted tannins, with the right amount of freshness and a long, savoury mineral trail.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Enveloping and delicious, this fragrant red opens with aromas of ripe plum, baking spice, blue flower and an earthy whiff of new leather. Full bodied and concentrated, it also has an almost weightless grace and poise, delivering succulent black cherry, fleshy raspberry, star anise and cinnamon before an espresso close. Fine-grained tannins provide polished support

• Monica Larner: This special selection offers increased concentration and density with blackberry and cherry highlighted by spice, campfire ash and grilled herb.

Producer Information

Fattoria La Fiorita is a wine estate in Montalcino, Tuscany specializing in red wines from the Sangiovese grape variety. Founded in the early 1990s, it has been fully owned since 2014 by American former actress Natalie Oliveros, a part-owner since 2011. On taking over Ms Oliveros instigated a shift to organic viticulture, with certification achieved in 2019. A new vineyard, Giardinello, was planted in 2014, and a new winery and cellar was completed in time for the 2019 harvest. The winery itself lies a short distance to the north of Castelnuovo dell'Abate in the southeast corner of Montalcino. There are just 0.4 hectares (1 acre) of vines on this property, planted around the same time as Giardinello. There are three principal vineyards in different parts of the growing zone, offering varied terroirs. The production facility is gravity-fed, for gentle movement of must, juice and wine. Ferments take place in 16 concrete tanks designated for particular vineyard parcels. Wines are aged in 5000-liter French and Slavonian oak botti before selection and blending by the owner.
