Poggio Salvi
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
On the leathery, earthy side, but nice with pasta with a rich meat sauce. Nose has leather, menthol, crushed rock, not that much fruit. A little slightly medicinal cherry extract. In the mouth, it’s savory and earthy, with lots of iodine-tinged gravel, old furniture, and fruit well in the background. A little demanding on its own, but works with food.

Dec 24th, 2022This developed nicely over the course of several hours. Tight, with tremendous acidity, it ultimately shows tart, macerated cherry, leather, cracked stone-laced gravelly notes. Lean but intense. Great dinner Brunello. Should last and improve for at least another 5 years.

Half bottle, nov 2021, wakes up with lots of air, nothing special, a brunello
