Tasting Notes

In the glass it’s bright ruby red. The intense aroma of red fruit jam stands out on a floral background, punctuated by a slight spiciness. The sip is spread over a good acidity and lashing tannins. A powerful Brunello, in a great vintage, which over time will find its best balance.

Pairing

It goes well with roasted and braised red meats, game and aged cheese.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Poggio di Sotto: Why we like it

It’s a wine that needs no introduction, Brunello by Poggio di Sotto has always been considered one of the great classics of the appellation. A red capable of surprising every year thanks to a unique attention to detail and elegance. Poggio di Sotto's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG comes from the Castelnuovo dell'Abate area, in the Orcia river valley, from vineyards located at 200, 300 and 450 meters above sea level with different sun exposures and on soils rich in skeleton. In the cellar everything is done in the most traditional way, from vinifications in wooden vats to spontaneous fermentations and very prolonged macerations. Refinement takes place in 30 hl oak barrels for 48 months and in bottles for 8 months. Poggio di Sotto's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is not filtered before bottling.
