Tasting Notes
Red berry and wild strawberry, spice, leather and woody herbs on the nose. The palate is full, with great concentration and flavors that echo the nose. Deep and multilayered with polished tannins and a harmonious acid spine that lifts and extends the red fruit onto a long, suave finish. It’s always beneficial to decant your young Brunello to expose it to some oxygen to experience the aromas and their tannins at their best. Enjoy this with prime cuts of beef, pasta in a meaty ragu sauce or a selection of firm aged cheeses.
Method
Brunello is the prince of Montalcino wines, produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes picked by hand from the oldest vines in the farm. After a careful fermentation at controlled temperature, Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino is aged in French oak barrels for 36 months. After being aged in wood, the wine is bottle aged: this is an essential process in guaranteeing the pleasantness and the complexity that have made the Brunello di Montalcino world-famous.
