One of our all-time favorite families in Montalcino and a winery that is qualitatively kicking butt at the moment, the 2016 Brunello from Terre Nere is seriously freaking delicious. One of their highest-scoring wines ever, the 2016 vintage does not disappoint. Vintages like these come around once a generation when the planets align. If you have yet to load up on this terrific vintage in Montalcino, now is the time. We have an insane price on just 30 magnums that just arrived.

About The Producer

Pasquale Vallone has continued to increase the knowledge his father had given him about agriculture at the family farmhouse while also embarking on an important career in a bank. And thanks to a branch transfer, at the beginning of the 90s, he came into contact with the economic and social life of Montalcino for five years. These were the years of the highest "expression" of Brunello di Montalcino. He created strong bonds of friendship that he still continues to cultivate today, even from a distance. In 1996 during a day of hunting, one of his wine-maker friends showed him some land for sale south-east of Montalcino, 15 ha of uncultivated land and woods a real opportunity that Pasquale did not miss. In 1997 the whole family, Pasquale, his wife Piera and Francesca and Federico, the children, planted the first cuttings, an excellent pastime for the weekends. The hectares of vines become 10 in a short time, Pasquale soon spent his whole vacation in this pristine corner of Montalcino. Pasquale found in his brother Gaetano a great help and an excellent cellarman, producing the first Brunello di Montalcino Terre Nere in 2002.

Reviews

Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com
Fresh and balsamic, it shows a profile rich in identity that certainly does not go unnoticed. Hibiscus flowers and magnolia blend with notes of crumbled stone, white pepper and eucalyptus leaves. Full body, perfectly integrated and polymerized silky tannins and a finish of impressive drinkability and performing lightness. The closure shows a pronounced aftertasting of great pleasure. Best from 2021.

James Suckling
Extremely floral and pretty with rose, lavender, cherry and plum aromas that follow through to a full body with creamy, polished tannins that have a subtle and sumptuous mouth feel. Lovely flavors, too. Drink in 2023 and onwards.

Vinous
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up pretty flowery perfumes with hints of clove, allspice and dusty black cherries. It’s silky and seamless in the mouth, with an elegant expression of polished red fruits offset by hints of sour citrus and spice, as inner florals amass toward the close. Classically dry and lightly structured, this finishes on refinement and purity but with the potential for medium-term cellaring. This is one of the best young wines I’ve ever tasted from Terre Nere.
