Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Tuscany, ItalyPoggio di Sotto’s certified organic estate was founded in 1989 on the south-eastern side of Montalcino overlooking the Orcia valley and in 2011 became part of the ColleMassari family of wines. Switzerland's Tipa Bertarelli family oversees this property. The vineyards for this Brunello are across 3 elevations, giving a range of soils and freshness to the wine. Elegant and stately, if a bit severe, this old school Brunello glides along the palate with dried cherry, leather, autumn leaves, finishing with some dusky brown spices. Tannins are well integrated, with a tug on the sides. One for now with veal or lamb, or better yet, tuck into the cellar.Tasted: 11 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $243.95 | 750ml | consignment |
