Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino DOC

Like its predecessors, the 2017 vintage of Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino also impresses the international wine world. Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, 93 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points in Decanter, and 92 points in WineEnthusiast, the Brunello is a feast for the senses and another outstanding example of why Poggio Antico has been considered an iconic winemaker in Tuscany for decades.

The Sangiovese bouquet is fascinatingly intense and multi-faceted. "Aromas reminiscent of undergrowth, rubbed botanical herbs, wild roses and wild berries pour from the glass," according to Kerin O'Keefe in the Wine Enthusiast, while James Suckling writes of a pure cherry, berry and floral character with underlying notes of cedar. Decanter says, "Smells quite savory of coffee, dark chocolate, bitter orange peel and some Christmas spices, cloves and cinnamon," adding that the savory spice is in the foreground.

On the palate, this fine red wine from Tuscany is terrifically elegant, with a medium to full body. In addition, there is a wonderful depth and variety of aromas. The elegant palate offers dried cherries, licorice and ground cloves in a complex interplay with fine-grained tannins, as O'Keefe writes. The Wine Advocate highlights lots of fresh fruit and the soft and supple tannins, while Decanter, in turn, recognizes tension and precision on the palate, well-integrated tannins and a lovely sweetness at the start. The long, aromatic finish completes this taste experience.

This single-varietal Sangiovese from the 30 hectares of picturesquely situated sites of Poggio Antico is outstanding. A major contributing factor is that the grapes ripen about 500 meters above sea level on chalky, stony soils. The harvest yields are deliberately severely limited. The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino is aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 18 months in the bottle.

A superb classic of Italian winemaking. Enjoy the Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino with red meat or game dishes, preferably with mushrooms. A strong cheese is also an excellent companion for the Brunello - we recommend, for example, a Pecorino from Tuscany or a Toma Piemontese. Tip: Enjoy this Brunello after 2024.
