Im Traumjahr 2016 bietet uns das Weingut einen ausgesprochen schmackhaften und saftigen Vertreter, der den Spirit von Montalcino vom ersten bis zum letzten Schluck in sich trägt. Feine Salbei- und Minze-Noten runden das warme, reife und äußerst reichhaltige Fruchtbouquet wunderschön ab. Am Gaumen tänzelnd mit einer feinen rotbeerigen Säureader, die von einer großartigen Samtigkeit unterlegt ist. Auf der anderen Seite ist er ein straffer, präziser und besonders frischer Brunello, der uns bereits in jungen Jahren begeistert. SUPERIORE.DE

"Vielschichtige Blume nach sonnenwarmen Kirschen, Zimt und Leder; der Ansatz saftig, dralle Gerbstoffe, gute Säure, fruchtig-floral im Nachhall. Finessenreich und vielversprechend." Vinum

"Leuchtendes, elegantes Rubinrot. In der Nase nach reifer Kirsche, einem Hauch Blutorange und edlem Würzeton. Öffnet sich am Gaumen mit feiner Süße und ausgewogenem Spiel, warmherzig und klar mit kernigem Tannin und feinem Druck." Falstaff

"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona places savory herbs, exotic spice and earth tones above ripeness of fruit. It’s decidedly dark and brooding on the nose, lifted by hints of fresh-picked mint and sage. There are depths of velvety textures in the mouth, offset by a tactile mix of tart wild berries, minerals and zesty acidity which adds vibrancy in spite of the tannic heft and primary intensity found here. The 2016 finishes with a monolithic feel, still wound up tightly in its youthful state but also promising many years of positive evolution in our cellars. This is gorgeous and a great value for age-worthy Brunello." Vinous

"In southern Montalcino, the expansive Ciacci Piccolomini property is characterised by warm, perfumed afternoon breezes coming in from the Mediterranean. The wines are typically headily scented and generous in alcohol, as is the case in 2016; however, I find much more freshness and focus than in the 2015s. Aromas include sun-kissed cherry and raspberry with red rose, tobacco, sage and thyme. Light on its feet with grainy tannins that dissolve easily, this is almost ready to drink. An amaro-like finish persists and stimulates the appetite." Decanter

"Light on its feet, this red evokes strawberry, cherry, earth, menthol and Tuscan scrub flavors. Shows a firm underlying structure, with a fresh and focused finish." Wine Spectator

"Red-berry, wild-rose, crushed mint and dark-spice aromas are front and center on this fragrant red. The full-bodied palate is concentrated but also boasts finesse, offering layers of raspberry jam, smooth licorice and tobacco alongside a backbone of enveloping, velvety tannins. You'll also detect the warmth of alcohol but the succulent fruit stands up to it." Wine Enthusiast

"Lots of red and blue fruit to this, evolving into wet leaves, freshly turned soil and brewed tea. Light herbal notes. Sweet cherries, too. It's full bodied with silky, firm tannins. More minerality and tea notes on the finish. Elegant and driven." James Suckling

"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino (with 56,000 bottles made) shows bold cherry, spice, crushed stone and balsam herb that come together in seamless fashion. This estate has honed a unique style that becomes a common theme traced to each new vintage. I'd describe it as delicate but also succulent with a rich and almost pulpy quality of fruit. The wine is fueled by the golden light that hits this part of Tuscany in those last hours of the day. Here is a wine that shows spirit of place." Robert Parker
