TASTING NOTES
The Brunello di Montalcino Vigna i Poggi 2020 from Poggio Antico stands out for its freshness and complexity. This wine is the result of meticulous research and zoning, leading to the identification of 14 Soil Units, which has given rise to a single-vineyard wine vinified separately. Located at an average altitude of 550 metres above sea level, this vineyard is renowned for producing high-quality Sangiovese. Vigna I Poggi spans 2.5 hectares and encompasses 5 distinct Soil Units, characterised by a highly calcareous and nutrient-rich soil that ensures excellent drainage. The Tuscan Galestro present in this area consists of over 35% gravel and features deep rocky units. The vineyard management is entirely organic, employing natural manure to maintain soil vitality. Additionally, careful practices are adopted in managing the greenery, using revitalisers to strengthen the plants against climatic variations. Cover crops are only implemented when necessary, benefiting from the symbiotic balance of the vineyard's ecosystem. The undisputed protagonist of this wine is the Sangiovese, which beautifully expresses the Tuscan terroir. The care taken in organic vineyard management and attention to detail during vinification result in a wine that faithfully reflects the identity of its territory. The Brunello Vigna i Poggi 2020 presents an intense, bright ruby red colour. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet with aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, enriched by spicy notes of cardamom and black pepper, alongside mineral hints that evoke the area's soil. On the palate, the wine is structured and vibrant, with well-defined tannins and a freshness that balances the richness of the fruit. The finish is long and persistent, characterised by a pleasant savouriness that invites another sip. Finally, the estate has been certified organic since 2020, highlighting its commitment to sustainable practices and the quality of its wines.
