Brunello di Montalcino, Poggio Di Sotto 2018

Tasting Notes

Poggio di Sotto hits it out the ballpark once again with an extremely elegant interpretation that shows the incredible depth and nuance Sangiovese can achieve, even in an uneven vintage such as this. The certified organic 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark ruby hue and mid-weight concentration. Indeed, the wine is lighter and brighter than most, despite Brunello's mandatory five years of aging before its commercial release. The tannins are silky and melt over the palate. Along the way, the wine offers high notes of red cherry, cassis and blue flower. This 38,000-bottle release carries a very high price tag, but your high expectations will be met. 2025-2045

Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, March 2023

A youthful ruby hue, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino offers a fresh and floral bouquet, with aromas of ripe raspberries, anise, and orange pith. Medium-bodied and approachable now, it offers fine tannins and a clean, weightless feel, with a pithy texture and notes of white tea on the finish. It’s a very pretty and elegant wine to drink over the coming 10 years.
