The Fanti 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Le Macchiarelle stands apart from the estate's other two releases from 2016. This wine shows a heavier center of gravity for sure, with aromas of honey, ripe cherry, blackberry confit and even a touch of dried apricot. Those thicker aromas set in after the more fleeting aromas of crushed limestone and smoke lift and eventually disappear. As a result, I found these results slightly monotone compared to the buoyant and bright 2016s. This is a wine to enjoy in the medium term next to a roast game hen. Production is 8,000 bottles.
