Named after Siena's biannual Medieval pageant and horse race, Terre del Palio signals a commitment to its regional heritage. Their 2016 Brunello di Montalcino uses only the traditional Sangiovese grape and is aged in large Slavonian barrels and French barriques, evoking a timeless style. Baked raspberry, sage, and violet aromas persist on the palate amid black cherry and ripe tannins. This Tuscan classic pairs perfectly alongside panzanella, roast duck breast, or cotechino with lentils, and for a limited time, is 57% off!

Finely polished, slightly dusty tannins run the length of this beautiful 2016 creating a compact cylinder of fresh and ripe cherry fruit character. It lasts a long time at the finish. Drink after 2023.
