2019 Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 750ML

2019 Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 750ML Rich, ripe, smoky, spicy and balsamic. Plenty of fruit with a bit of stewed sweetness to it. Black cherry, caramel, prune, earth and stone. Impressive intensity, complexity and length with perfect structural balance. The combination of poise and power gives it a sense of grace, like a lion leaping in for the kill.

96 Points Suckling: Sweet cherry and flower aromas with some orange peel and lilac character. Medium-bodied with pretty depth and focus. Ripe, fine tannins and an attractive finish. Subtle richness and class. From organically grown grapes. Give this three or four years to come around. Best after 2025.

96 Points, Vinous: Dusty roses, worn leather, dried strawberries and arid earth form a classic bouquet as the dynamic 2019 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is feminine yet deep and textural, with ripe plums and black cherries motivated by brisk acidity. Violet inner florals and licorice hints form toward the close. The 2019 leaves a salty mineral staining to mingle with fine-grained tannins and spice, as it finishes with incredible length, yet still so fresh. This is incredibly youthful and inward today, but the potential is off the charts. I expect the 2019 to put on some weight and blossom over the next five to ten years. Glorious.

95 Points, Decanter: Poggio di Sotto is the top wine from Castelnuovo dell’Abate, facing Abbazia di Sant’Antimo on one side and the end of Orcia valley on the other. Selected yeast for the fermentation were introduced recently (from the 2018 vintage) otherwise the winemaking is very classic, with long maceration and long Slavonian-oak ageing: ‘We assume the French oak is too intrusive, giving too much tannin to Brunello,’ said managing director, Leonardo Berti. This 2019 shines for its vibrancy of fruit ranging from peach skin to strawberry, with balsamic depth and a minty whiff. Dense and velvety with refreshing acidity and a chalky finish, this is youthful, chewy and long.
