How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino and the Riserva are distributed via the Place du Bordeaux - so always around September of the year, the negociances in Bordeaux distribute the always scarce wines worldwide among the only affiliated wine distributors, including Grand Cru wines . Poggio Antico is one of the highest estates in Tuscany. In 1984 it was bought by Giancarlo and Nuccia Gloder and in 2017 by a Belgian company.
Poggio Antico is a certified organic winery starting with the 2020 vintage. In the last year the winery has been adapted to include more cement and steel barrels in the fermentation area. The goal is to pursue smaller batch vinifications from specific vineyards. Poggio Antico has also planted two new hectares of vines in the prized I Poggi area and plans to add more new vines in 2021. There is also a replanting in the vineyard that makes the IGT Toscana Madre (a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon) - the replanting will last until 2026.
Poggio Antico is Brunello di Montalcino is made with 100% home grown Sangiovese and it is produced in the traditional way to let the purity of the grape shine. The wine gets a long aging (3 years) and bottle refinement (1 year) for more depth and complexity in the wine.
The Brunello di Montalcino offers a pure and classic expression of the vintage with bright fruit notes, wild cherry, toasted nut, blue flower and forest floor. While the other wines in the Poggio Antico portfolio are aged in smaller tonneaux, this wine is instead aged in large Slavic barrels. You can taste the brightness of the fruit, and it's all very beautiful. Grapes come from a 13-hectare site at an altitude of 500 meters. The vineyards are the highest in the region and contribute to the freshness in the wine. The name of this area is I Poggi, and the soil here is lighter and rockier with both schistous galestro and limestone alberese. The wine is very delicate with floral aromas and a silky smooth mouthfeel. Parker ends his review with " ...There is a lot of fresh fruit here, and the tannins are quite soft and supple "
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the national road with plenty of parking space. Click here for address

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows a pretty, mid-weight appearance with shiny dark ruby highlights. The wine offers soft fruit with cherry and wild forest berry at the front. On a second wave, it delivers light spice, earthy mineral and cured tobacco. Both the fruity and the savory sides of the wine are well balanced over solid tannic support and balanced freshness. Production is 29,000 bottles.
Poggio Antico has 33 hectares of vines, with 26 hectares designated to the production of Brunello di Montalcino. The estate started its conversion to organic farming in 2017. The estate just named a new general manager, Pier Giuseppe D'Alessandro, to replace the outgoing Federico Trost.

De 2018 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino opent met helder rood en donker bosfruit, wilde kers, subtiele specerij, aarde en een vleugje getoast tabak, gedragen door frisse zuurgraad en stevige maar zijdeachtige tannines. Daardoor sluit hij mooi aan bij rundvlees, lamsgerechten, charcuterie, hartige kazen en rijke pastasauzen of pizza’s met vlees; het fruit contrasteert en verfrist, de tannines snijden door vet en geven structuur, terwijl de aardse tonen de umami van gerijpte kazen en langzaam gegaard vlees versterken. Vooral langzaam gegaarde lamsbout, gegrild entrecote met rozemarijn of tomatenrijke ragù’s en pizza’s met nduja of salami halen extra voordeel uit de wijn, evenals charcuterie en oude pecorino op kamertemperatuur.
