The riserva is built to age, so a decant is recommended. As it opens, it will reveal notes of sweet spice, ripe cherry fruit and vine ripened tomatoes. It will stand up to big, savory dishes.
Palazzo Description
The Palazzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is crafted from organic estate vines and made only in top vintages from the finest plots. While some producers use barriques or shorten aging to meet the 24-month mandate, Palazzo stays true to 48 months in Slavonian oak. The result is a vivid ruby wine with an ample, complex nose of balsamic, sage, rosemary, and red fruits. Full-bodied and balanced, it boasts a seductive, tannic finish.
James Suckling: 96 Points
A wine with fantastic intensity of dark fruits such as cherries and plums as well as minerals and sea salt. Full body, savory and firmly textured tannins. It's a red with energy and form. Drink in 2018.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a wine of power and determination. It opens to a visibly darker appearance and a solid, compact build. Dark berry and pressed blackberry aromas add fruity appeal, but the wine offers many savory aromas that span from exotic spice to dark tobacco leaf. The 2010 vintage shows an evident dose of heft, grit and concentration that you definitely feel in the mouth.
