2017 Renieri Regina di Renieri

2017 Renieri Regina di Renieri A deep red, veined with an almost eggplant-dark purple, greets the eye. The nose of this 2017 vintage releases a wide range of rich fragrances, both spicy and floral, with subtle notes of fruit. The palate of this wine from Italy exhibits appreciable power but judicious balance as well, crowned with a lengthy finish.

98 pts. James Suckling: Wow. Amazing nose of crushed berries, tea, iodine, oyster shell and bark. Forest flowers, too. Full body. Dense and layered with great intensity and length. Pure. Incredible. Drink or hold.

Marco Bacci has released some of the finest wines ever made from his Montalcino property, Renieri. This Tuscan all-rounder (with properties in Chianti Classico and coastal Tuscany) demonstrates a profound understanding and ability in winemaking vintage after vintage. – Robert Parker.

Tenuta Renieri

Located on the northeast quadrant of Montalcino, facing Mt. Amiata we find Tenuta Renieri. This is a stunning and beautiful winery owned by the Bacci Family. It is well-known by wine lovers that the best vineyards in Montalcino are located here. Renieri’s  vineyards neighbor those of Biondi Santi, Cantina La Serena, Casanova di Neri and Azienda La Rasina;all located within a 2 mile radius. The estate comprises 128 acres of which only 30 are under vine at an elevation between 350 – 420 meters above sea level. The Renieri dates back to the 1700s, while the winery, which extends over about 1000 square metres is almost entirely below ground. The single fallen tree on the label serves as a reminder of a tornado that ripped through Montalcino in 2002.

The wines from this house receive every vintage HUGE scores from the world’s most famous wine critics (2010 Renieri Brunello di Montalcino scored 100 pts., was named #3 Top 100 Wines in the World and was featured in the Top 100 List from Wine Spectator.
