Brunello di Montalcino “Gualto” Riserva DOCG 2015
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto is a dark, saturated and compact wine that shows a very unique interpretation of the Sangiovese grape. Camigliano has one of the best microclimates for a dark, velvety and opulent Brunello, which does very well in a highly balanced vintage like 2015. The plump fruit contrasts nicely with the firm tannins and acidity in the mouthfeel. All in all, this is a balanced wine with softness and extra richness. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino “Podernovi” DOCG 2015
One of the best vintages of the last twenty years and San Polo's first single vineyard Brunello. Ruby red colour, not too deep, with light garnet reflections. In the nose floral aromas of violet, cyclamen and jasmine, notes of fresh fruit and spice. In the mouth it is round, full of harmony, with good structure and acidity and very soft tannins, which show an excellent persistence overall. A wine of almost endless length, depth and with a distinct character that will be remembered. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2015
Dark red with light reflections. On the nose, this great Riserva shows lots of sweet red cherry, wild berry, Asian herbs and notes of undergrowth. Firm and still very austere on the palate with a well-defined fruit and present acidity. The exceptional structure is flanked by a good tannin framework, which reinforces the austerity and precision. This Riserva is not an easy-drinking wine, but will only find its full expression after a few years of maturation. All components indicate that it will then be one of the best Brunellos that this exceptionally full-bodied vintage has produced. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2015
If one were to assign a quality to this wine, it would be sincerity. In the sum of its parts, this disarming Super Riserva is not only a wine full of contrasts, but also full of soul. It reflects its terroir, the exceptional 2015 vintage and the clear stylistics of the house in a self-confident and highly credible way. Fruit, alcohol, tannin and also spice are perfectly coordinated and present in very generous quantities. With each glass, the exuberant impressions become more unravelled and a Brunello emerges that, in addition to all its complexity, amiability and persistence, has a personality that secures it a place among the best of this vintage.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano 2015 is a huge, outstanding wine. Waves of vibrant, intensely fragrant fruit appear on the palate, supported by the firm, broad tannins of the plump, very rich vintage. Violets, spices, new leather and liquorice unfold in the glass, clean mineral notes frame an eruption of dark cherries, plums and camphor in a finish that fills the palate endlessly.

Just 72 bottles of this extraordinary creature were released for the German market. At the same time, San Polo's latest growth comes from the oldest vines of the wine estate, the Vignavecchia single vineyard with a size of 2 hectares. The year 2015 brought not only very healthy berries but also ideal acidity and sugar levels. So, it is not surprising that Vignavecchia made it to the podium right away and that this Brunello is one of the highest-rated wines of the dream vintage.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2015
With the fruit-driven, round and almost perfect in all components 2015 vintage, the Riserva of Poggio di Sotto climbs new spheres. It is not only an enormously classic representative of the appellation, but it also presents that certain little bit more of all components, which makes it a very great wine and makes it stand out from the sea of very good 2015s. On the nose and palate, an inspiring potpourri of primary and secondary fruit. From cherry, crème de cassis, tar, liquorice and balsamic herbal spice to perfectly integrated tannin and a refined cedar component, we find everything here that makes a highly complex red. A classic that could not be more perfect. SUPERIORE.DE

"It is a vintage full of strength and purity, the result of a long growing season without extreme events. One that was warmer than 2014 and with much less rain, yet the water reserves were high due to the rainfall during the winter months. These reserves helped the vines through the dry, warm and sunny summer months, supplemented by cool night temperatures and just the right amount of rainfall at the right time. In addition, it was cool and dry before the harvest, which in turn resulted in a healthy harvest of perfectly ripe grapes.
Andrea Mantengoli from La Serena called the 2015 vintage "A vintage created by God". What he meant was that everything seemed to fall into place and a producer could just sit back and watch the vines practically assert themselves. But this is where many producers failed, and this is why I consider the 2015 Brunello a minefield of great wines hidden in a sea of very pleasant but not outstanding wines.
Mantengoli went on to explain that producers who did not manage the vineyards throughout the season produced the sun-drenched wines that some people find too ripe or, I might add, easy. He attributes his own success to the north-south exposure, patience, picking for ideal maturity and the thirty-year-old vines, whose roots dig deep for nutrients and minerals - in other words, the term we love so much: terroir.
So is that the whole answer?
When tasting the Brunello Flights of the 2015 vintage, some things become clear. In my opinion, the producers located immediately around the town of Montalcino had the best chances to produce excellent wines in 2015. It is the Brunellos of purity and strength, supported by the altitude and a varied mix of soils that added further layers of complexity. Of particular note are the Canalicchio di Sopra (including the first release of the single vine La Casaccia), Fuligni and Valdicava. Le Potazzine and Gianni Brunelli, both blends of vineyards in the north and south, are magnificent. I also found excellence in some selected places around Tavernelle, including Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja) and Castello Romitorio. All these wines are a strong argument for the vintage.
Looking south, I found more variability, but many convincing wines, including some of my top performers of the vintage. The success rate may be lower in Castelnuovo dell'Abate and Sant'Angelo in Colle, but the producers who succeeded did so brilliantly. Lisini, Poggio di Sotto, Mastrojanni, Il Poggione and Uccelliera are all masterfully produced Brunellos in 2015.
But it is not only the top names that shone in 2015. Remember that this is the farmers' vintage. I was very fond of smaller producers, some of whom produced fantastic wines. The fact is, if you don't look beyond the best Brunellos of the vintage, you are missing one of the best qualities of 2015: the Brunello of the "under-the-radar-overperformers". To sum up, 2015 is not the "great vintage" we may have wanted or hoped for, but it is one that many consumers will really love.
For my part, I for one will not skip the 2015; I'm just extremely picky, because the fact is that this vintage is an unprecedented pleasure - you just have to know where to look. Dare we take a look at 2016? That's a story for another time." Eric Guido Vinous
