2018 | Difficult year because of rain in June and again in August, but sunny from mid September, with ripe grapes from late harvest. May be like 2013. | |
2017 | Hot, early vintage, with much reduced yields may give concentrated wines. | |
2016 | *** | Promises to be an excellent vintage with concentrated wines. |
2015 | *** | Sunny, hot vintage caused producers to draw parallels with the highly structured 2010 vintage, but 2015 will be ready (relatively) earlier. |
2014 | A poor vintage to point at which a large proportion of Brunello was declassified to Rosso. | |
2013 | * | Tricky summer with wet start and uneven temperatures followed by Indian summer gave well-structured wines on lighter side, tending to elegance, for drinking 5-10 years after vintage. |
2012 | ** | Good vintage but unusually small, with wines that are ready to drink. Very attractive now. |
2011 | ** | Warm year, wines evolving rapidly and good for drinking in short to mid term. |
2010 | *** | This is a great year, with intense, structured wines, but they will not be ready for a few years. |
2009 | * | Warm summer gave an early drinking vintage. |
2008 | Cool, wet conditions, but some elegant wines. |
