Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Poggio Antico

Case Format: 6x75cl

The vineyards of Poggio Antico rest on the highest hills of Montalcino. The ancient and mixed soil is made up of calcareous rock and galestro (marl) forcing the Sangiovese grape to bring out its best expression, resulting in complex and elegant wines: the iconic Brunello. Poggio Antico is the soaring home of Brunello: an exclusive experience in the light and colors of the most authentic Tuscany.

Made with 100% Sangiovese according to the traditional method, this Brunello embodies all the characteristics of the variety. Long aging in the barrel and in the bottle endow this wine with structure and complexity: a great classic.

Monica Larner

Poggio Antico is another one of those Montalcino estates that you will forever remember if youve been lucky enough to visit. The vineyards enjoy unobstructed views all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea (I think this is the only place in the appellation where you can see the water on a clear day). Fruit for the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is sourced from the I Poggi parcel with thin galestro and alberese soils. There is a lot of fresh fruit here, and the tannins are quite soft and supple. Production is 38,000 bottles.

Caramelised cherries, a herbal element to the nose too, a mixture of wood and flowers. Gentle and piercing, this has a focus on the bright intense fruit expression with an underlying acidity that is fresh and ample. Then the spice comes in, closing it down a little and giving a touch of astringency in terms of dryness to the mouth. Good potential though, the flavours are concentrated, intense and focussed. Detailed but just a touch on the aggressive side right now. Ageing 30 months in 40hl Slavonian oak barrels then another 18 months in bottle.
