Poggio di Sotto 2011 Riserva (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Poggio di Sotto / Brunello di Montalcino

Initially reserved, this ethereal red took some time to open but it was worth the wait, revealing enticing scents of violet, wild berry, rosemary and Mediterranean brush. The palate is all about extreme elegance, offering wild cherry, crushed strawberry, grilled herb and star anise alongside firm, refined tannins. Best 2018–2023.
