Poggiarellino - Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Poggiarellino, a historic winery in the heart of Montalcino, run by the most genuine and sincere couple in their 80s is renowned for its dedication to producing high-quality Brunello wines. The Brunello di Montalcino is crafted from Sangiovese grapes grown in the region’s calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and complexity. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in large oak barrels for 36 months. This careful process results in a wine with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. Poggiarellino’s commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and sustainable farming ensures each bottle is a sincere expression of their territory and matches identically to their sweet, sincere, and charismatic personalities. 2015 was a great year in Montalcino and resulted in rich, full-bodied, and well-structured with a good balance of acidity and tannins. They show great depth of flavor, with ripe fruit characteristics, often including dark cherry, plum, and hints of spice. This vintage is expected to age well, developing more complexity over time.
