Brunello di Montalcino Poggio di Sotto 2018

Parallels to the red wines of Burgundy abound in discussions of Poggio di Sotto. The Sangiovese wines released from this special property do always favor elegance and restraint over opulence and power, yet they never lack depth. Normally a paler hue of ruby than other Brunello wines, Poggio di Sotto’s tameness of color belies concentrated aromas and flavors. A profile anchored in bright cherry fruit is framed by highlights of balsamic, baking spice, and candied orange peel. The tannin structure is firm yet ripe and will carry the wine well through decades of cellaring. A classic wine from one of the world’s great wine regions.

EXcellent with flavorful meats from the grill as with refined and layered dishes. Considered a "Vino da Meditazione," Poggio di Sotto Brunello is also enjoyable on its own.

Brunello Poggio di Sotto is a wine produced with respect for tradition, in which the Sangiovese is able to express its infinite potential in the most natural way possible thanks also to the natural and little interventionist agricultural management except in the severity of the thinning, and to a cellar management made of indigenous yeasts, steel vats but also oak for fermentation, medium-large barrels and long aging times (4 years for Brunello), and no filtering before bottling. Wine ready to be drinked now or for aging.
