Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s finest wines, famed for its complex flavors and ability to age. High demand has seen prices skyrocket in recent years, making this boutique find even more special.
Subbia Antica hails from an estate in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, home to some of Tuscany’s most prestigious reds, and the glorious 2015 vintage. As critic James Suckling writes, “it is tempting to say that 2015 is Brunello di Montalcino’s best vintage ever, and it may very well be!” Other critics are reaching for superlatives as well: “The 2015 Brunellos are some of the best in recent memory,” reports Vinous.com.
And this elegant discovery lives up to hype, already sporting a 93-point rating from Gilbert & Gaillard and 94 points from Suckling for its “wonderful polish and focus.” Aged for 24 months in oak casks, plus four years in bottle before release, Subbia Antica offers opulent dark fruit, leather, and toasty cedar nuances.
Drinking beautifully now, this mature Brunello will also reward careful cellaring for several more years. Whenever you decide to enjoy it, we recommend decanting an hour before serving, then pairing with savory red meats, hearty pastas, or firm cheeses.
With all the praise lavished on Brunello’s 2015s, the wines are already being snapped up by collectors. Secure your share of this boutique 94-pointer today.
