Tasting Note

The 2018 is ripe, generous, and immediately inviting, with a fragrant nose of sweet strawberries, ripe cherries, and a touch of balsamic richness. On the palate, it’s layered and expressive, bursting with juicy red and black cherries, wild herbs, and a whisper of garrigue. Savoury undertones of leather, sandalwood, and a dash of white pepper add depth and complexity. The tannins are silky and melting, beautifully balanced by a fresh, supple acidity. While it has the structure to age gracefully, it's already drinking beautifully, thanks to its vibrant aromatics and effortless charm.

Product Notes

Poggio di Sotto's Brunello di Montalcino is a superior Tuscan red wine. This vintage exudes complexity, with an alluring bouquet of red and dark fruit, oriental spices and hints of earthy undertones. The elegant structure and refined tannins are characteristic of its Montalcino origins. Ageing in Slavonian oak barrels imparts a characteristic subtlety, enhancing its sophisticated, pleasing finish. It boasts an impressive longevity, rewarding those that cellar it. It's an exquisite paragon of Italian winemaking, perfect for the discerning oenophile. This Brunello di Montalcino is a wine to savour, offering a delightful experience for the palate and the senses.
