Poggio di Sotto - Brunello di Montalcino - Red - 2019

Wine:

Vinified in wooden and cement vats, then aged for three years in large oak casks, the 2019 Red Brunello di Montalcino delivers a striking aromatic profile. It reveals layers of red and black fruits, violet, tobacco, cocoa, and leather. Still youthfully reserved, the wine's powerful structure is supported by firm, abundant tannins, signaling its need for another 5 to 6 years of patience. This cool, complex vintage offers outstanding aging potential and embodies the very best of Montalcino. Widely regarded as one of the estate's finest wines to date, it has been awarded an impressive 98+/100 by Robert Parker.

Vinification:

The vines are on average 20 to 25 years old and are located between 200 and 400 metres above sea level. Vinified in wooden truncated-cone vats and concrete vats for one month, then matured in 30 hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months. Bottled in May 2023.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Risotto with truffles, game, herb-crusted rib of beef.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2040.
