The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an outstanding red wine from Tuscany, which is undoubtedly one of the truly great creations of Italian winemaking. Poggio Antico produces this single-varietal Sangiovese only in vintages that produce exceptionally good harvests.
The Decanter awards 98 (!) points out of 100 and writes of a bouquet that combines notes of sweet red cherries with a piquant spiciness, along with notes of clove, vanilla and cinnamon. The Wine Spectator likewise awarded a terrific 97 points, focusing in its review on the notes of cherries and violets, as well as hints of minerals and tobacco in the bouquet. Ninety-six points from James Suckling (cherries, orange peel and sandalwood) and from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (dark fruit, cherry, leather, spices and tar) complete the series of top ratings for the Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016.
On the palate, the Brunello is fresh, juicy and powerful. The tannins are integrated in a fascinating harmony. Connoisseurs can also look forward to the fine minerality and noticeable, lovely structure of this Tuscan Sangiovese.
The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016 was aged for 30 months in French and Slavonian oak, and subsequently for a further 30 months in the bottle. In short, it is an exceptional wine that has yet to reveal its full potential. Our tip: Wait until 2025 to enjoy this premium red wine. This Brunello will remain a source of joy until the early 2040s. The Decanter describes it as “gorgeously sexy and seductive”.
