Description

The beautiful Brunello di Montalcino 2016 has an intense dark ruby colour with a silky soft attack that is felt both in the bouquet and on the palate. The wine smells of dark plum and wild cherry, and those bright primary fruit notes descend into softer layers of rosehip and lavender sachets. The acidity of the wine is fantastic which keeps the wine very digestible. It is incredibly soft and pure, lifting the wine with salty minerals, while sweet notes of cherry and raspberry slowly begin to penetrate. Yet they leave behind youthful, firm tannins. This 2016 is a very classic vintage and is expected to last until 2045 (if stored properly), but why wait so long!

About Poggio di Sotto

Poggio di Sotto was founded in 1989 and currently has 32 hectares of land, of which 12 hectares are vineyards. The estate is located in the south-east of Montalcino, close to the banks of the Orcia river and Monte Amiata, an extinct volcano almost 2,000m high. This is one of the best areas in Montalcino, due to the soil composition, full of minerals and the particular microclimate. In summer the days are sunny and warm, but at night it cools down considerably, which is extremely important for the development of the aromas in a wine. The wine cellar was built with modern technology, but within its walls you will find the true Tuscan atmosphere, where the demanding art of winemaking is maintained with great expertise. Giulio Gambelli is one of Italy's best wine consultants.
