Magia, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2015 earthy loam and classic cigar-boxThe La Magia 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (made with organic fruit) is a bold and powerful wine with a full bodied approach and a strong 15% alcohol. The wine is redolent of cherry liqueur, baked fruit and blackcurrant. Beyond that, it offers plenty of toast and oak spice with cinnamon, tar and licorice. The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through, and that's what ultimately gives this wine its freshness and brightness.
