2018 Poggiotondo Brunello

2018 Poggiotondo Brunello

2018 Poggiotondo Brunello Floral nose with fresh blackberries and flowers. Some dry earth, too. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of black-fruit flavor and a lightly firm tannin structure. Long finish. Nicely done. Give it a year to come more together. It’s flavorful and very long. Try from 2024 to open and soften.

Ruby to garnet red in color with a bouquet of dried violets and cedar. Intense flavors of black fruits with a complex and lasting finish.

Brunello’s are considered one of the key wines to enjoy and collect. When it comes to the great wines of Italy, remember the “three B’s”: Brunello, Barolo and Barbaresco. Quality Brunello’s start out at $50 a bottle and the sky is the limit from there. Today’s wine rivals that kind of quality but can be had for $35.99. One of the great values from Tuscany.

This is an opportunity to experience one of the great wines from the vintage at a ridiculously low price that’s made by one of greatest Italian Winemakers alive today. The wine is the 2018 Poggiotondo Brunello owned by the Peluso Centolani family who’s vineyards are right in the center of the Brunello zone. They also own other great Brunello’s like Friggiali and Pietranera.  The winery is only 8 hectares, production is small and hands on. Consulting winemaker is one of Italy’s greatest winemakers Riccardo Cotarella. He is known as the Wizard. Other great Italian reds made by him are Montevetrano, Terra di Lavoro and le Pupille Saffredi, 100pt Wines. The wine received a huge, a massive 93pts by Suckling and is stylistically perfection combining the elegance and complexity of great Brunello with the power and concentration and the skills of Cotarella. We have the wine priced down to $35.99 and everyone should buy this wine. You must experience great Brunello and at this price, is an absolute no-brainer buy! Truly profound at the price!
