Poggio Al Granchio Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Beautiful.

mulled dark fruits, earthy, menthol & tobacco, baking spices & potpourri

rich expression of the nose w addition of cherry, licorice whip, caramelized orange peel, amaro & botanicals

Wow black fruit tight and big. Wild bright cherries nice acidity and mouthfeel. Rolling gripping tannins. Can benefit from a few more years in the bottle.

This one is a bit more generous with fruit and shows a slightly broader mid palate than the more northern cru. Still very nervy and tight with screeching acidity. Love the intensity, but wouldn’t dare open this for another 5 years.

Solid

A stellar bottle of Sangiovese. Elegant, with a dry finish

Classic profile of sour cherry and violet and a touch of spice.

Great Brunello which is entering it’s drinking window

Didn’t blow me away like most of the 2019 vintage. It opened a bit tight and still seems tight after a couple of hours of air and again on day 2. Overall complex and earthy but just didn’t hit the mark for me.

2020 vintage. A little dirty for Brunello but honestly, a nice change. Medium/medium-heavy body. Give it 3-4 years. 05.21.25.
