The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Il Quercione wears a heavier mantle of dark fruit and spice compared to the annata wine (from the 2017 vintage) released at the same time. This wine is visibly darker and more concentrated (with a big 15.5% of alcohol). You get pressed blackberry, earth and sweet baking spice or Spanish cedar. This is a rich, more elaborate expression from Campogiovanni, yet the wine is also accessible and somewhat compact on the close.
