The 2016 Fanti San Filippo Le Lucere Riserva delivers a structured age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino crafted from a single parcel of schist-planted Sangiovese. Founded in 1972 and now directed by proprietor Roberto Giannelli with consulting winemaker Paolo Caciorgna, the estate ferments the harvest and ages the wine for roughly two years in a combination of French barriques, tonneaux, and large Slavonian oak casks before extended bottle rest.


The glass opens with aromas of morello cherry, dried floral notes, sandalwood, and a subtle vanilla presence, layered over dusty minerality and balsamic herbs. The acclaimed 2016 Tuscan vintage provides exceptional ripeness balanced by fresh acidity, translating to a full-bodied palate with a powerful yet refined frame. Long, polished tannins support a lingering finish marked by a touch of natural fruit sweetness.


This Riserva pairs most effectively with robust preparations that mirror its concentration and savory depth. Serve it alongside roasted game, herb-crusted lamb, or a well-aged Pecorino cheese to complement its structural grip and earthy undertones.

94+ Points
"This special selection of fruit from San Filippo is characterized by more intensity and concentration compared to the estate's classic Brunello. In this vintage, I also discovered a greater level of Sangiovese purity and direction, thanks to tight berry tones, dusty mineral, spice and balsam herb. To the palate, the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino le Lucére delivers succulent fruit and even a touch of sweetness, all powered by tannins, clearly driven by both the oak and the fruit itself. This wine ages in a combination of barrique, tonneau and botte grande for two years. This 14,000-bottle release will hit the market in January 2021."
