Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended. This Brunello di Montalcino from Poggio Landi is an invitation to that sensory journey, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.
It is in the renowned lands of Montalcino, in Tuscany, that this Brunello DOCG takes root. The Poggio Landi estate, with its organic certification, demonstrates a deep commitment to quality and respect for the environment. Here, the king grape variety is Sangiovese Grosso, cultivated with care and harvested by hand, grape by grape.
The vinification of this 2021 follows traditional methods, with fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration that extracts all the complexity of the tannins. The wine then ages for a minimum of five years, including at least two in Slavonian oak barrels, a crucial step that gives it its robust structure and perfect balance.
Visually, this Brunello reveals itself with an intense ruby red color, adorned with garnet reflections, signs of its long aging. On the nose, you will discover aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes of vanilla and licorice, and a subtle balsamic touch that awakens curiosity. On the palate, the wine is enveloping, with a well-integrated tannic texture and a persistent freshness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving you with an impression of fullness.
This Brunello di Montalcino is the ideal companion for robust dishes. I recommend it with grilled red meats, game, or aged cheeses. But beyond meals, it is also a wine for meditation, to be savored alone to fully appreciate its richness and complexity. Let yourself be carried away by its natural elegance and discover the quintessence of Tuscany in your glass.
