About this Item

2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the highest expression of Sangiovese from the estate, made from carefully selected grapes sourced from the oldest vines in the vineyard. Riserva wines typically undergo longer aging in oak barrels and bottle before release, resulting in wines of exceptional complexity, depth, and aging potential.

Critics Ratings

‘A good dose of air coaxes out the maturing aromas and flavors of sandalwood, leather, underbrush, sweet cherry and mineral. This intriguing red displays lightness and elegance without sacrificing structure or intensity. Features a savory finish. Best from 2015 through 2032’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (May 2013)

‘Soldera’s 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has been utterly gorgeous on the many times I have tasted it. Expressive, floral and impeccably perfumed, the 2006 Riserva is surprisingly mid-weight and gracious in this vintage. Layers of sweet fruit with Burgundian overtones emerge as the wine gains depth and volume in the glass. Today, the 2006 is a delicate Brunello from Soldera rather than a powerhouse, but then again, these wines have a way of putting on weight in the bottle. I can’t wait to see how the 2006 develops over the coming years.’ – Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Jun 2013)
