Note di degustazione
Packaged with its distinctive black label, the Poggio Antico 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva reveals an accessible or open-knit character that is commonly found in wines from this scorching hot and dry growing season, even in the Riservas that are built for long aging. Despite those aspirations, I would recommend a near or medium-term drinking window for this bold Sangiovese that is laced with ripe cherry, baked plum, balsam herb and cured tobacco. Indeed, very few producers took the courageous decision to produce a Riserva in 2017. The wine shows soft tannins and a note of fruity sweetness on the finish. Production is 9,000 bottles.

Well-structured, with intensity and concentration through the mid palate while retaining a sense of lightness, soaring upwards, savoury and flavourful as it goes. A charming wine, with real typicity, delicate and delineated, well placed and supple tannins, good stuff.
Deep ruby with orange tinges. Savoury and sweet spice notes hovering over sour cherry and cherry liqueur and with a hint of pine. Rich but with some tangy acidity and quite mouth-filling. Loads of gravelly tannins that are a tiny bit demanding right now. Not enormously complex but certainly consumer-friendly. (WS)
