Poggiarellino - Brunello di Montalcino 2016

It’s hard to find 2 such sincere winemakers anymore, who aren’t just out to try to sell you something.  Anna and Ludovico, both in their 80s, are anything but this case.  Their wines are as genuine and sincere as they are. The Brunello di Montalcino by Poggiarellino is a testament to the winery’s dedication to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Montalcino. The Sangiovese grapes are cultivated in calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and complexity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, followed by aging in large oak barrels for 36 months. This meticulous process results in a wine with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. The wines from 2016 are powerful yet balanced, with intense aromatics and a harmonious structure. They exhibit concentrated fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and well-integrated tannins. This vintage has excellent aging potential, promising to develop beautifully over the years.
