Graceful yet intense, Poggio di Sotto’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino layers pure red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry over notes of rose, dried herbs, tobacco and warm earth. Medium-bodied and shimmering with freshness, it glides on ultra-fine tannins, feeling lighter on its feet than many Brunelli but leaving a strikingly long, precise, mineral-tinged finish that promises real complexity with time in bottle.

Brunello di Montalcino from Poggio di Sotto is a benchmark, traditionally crafted 100% Sangiovese from old, biodiverse vineyards on poor clay-and-limestone soils in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, at 200–450 meters above sea level. Fermented with long macerations and aged well beyond DOCG requirements in large Slavonian oak casks, it yields a pale yet intensely perfumed, supremely elegant style of Brunello, with bright cherry fruit, floral and citrus nuances, and refined tannins built for long aging.
