2021 Poggio di Sotto, Brunello di Montalcino 6x750ml

Vinous 96

Expertly focused and intense in the glass, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino tempts the imagination with depths of black cherry elevated by a minty herbal thrust, shavings of pine and a grounding note of dusty earth. Its seamlessly silken textures envelop the palate with polished, mineral-infused red fruits as nuances of clove add a pleasantly bitter tinge and rosy inner florals swirl throughout. Sweet tannins add an exceptional framework through the long and potent finish as a tart raspberry saturation lingers. The harmony within makes it hard not to drink instead of taste. That said, the 2021 is painfully young. [Eric Guido, 11/01/2025]

One month on the skins and aged for more than 36 months in large oak casks. Certified organic by ICEA. Lustrous deep ruby. Very youthful and lifted with raspberry and hints of blood orange. Lush and composed on the palate at the same time and with a thick layer of grainy tannins. Very long, lush and dramatic. (WS) [10/21/2025]
