Here is an exciting new wine from Poggio Antico. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna i Poggi sees fruit from a 2.5-hectare parcel at a high 550 to 570 meters above sea level that was chosen for this bottling thanks to the mixed soils types (with limestone, galestro, rocks and gravel) that characterize this place. The wine ferments in cement tulips and ages in Austrian oak casks for 30 months. This is a round and nicely concentrated effort with very lively fruit, lots of bright cherry, a hint of grilled herb, fine tannins and medium-plus richness to close. This inaugural vintage (with 7,750 bottles made) starts off with a bang, and it will be interesting to see how this program evolves. ... More details

Lovely berry, meat, bark and earth aromas here. Medium to full body with round yet fine tannins that give a velvety texture and a long, persistent finish at all levels. Drink in three to five years. Try after 2026.

The rich magenta-colored 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna I Poggi leaps from the glass with aromas of preserved black cherries, crushed flowers, sweet sage, and toasted cedar. Full-bodied, this is a gorgeous wine with sweet, velvety tannins, outstanding depth, and a fantastically long finish with warming spices. It’s a high-octane wine, although it has all the components to balance it out, and it’s going to last for ages. Drink 2026-2046.

Varietal: Sangiovese

Wines made with the round, darkly colored Sangiovese grape varietal tend to demonstrate the grape's key attributes: high acidity, moderate tannins and pale red color These grapes have been grown in their native Italy for thousands of years, and are said to be one of the key varietals which were so loved by the ancient Etruscan and Roman civilization Fast forward a few millennia, and all over the world, wineries are still growing these grapes in order to capture that renowned and flavorful essence. What makes Sangiovese so loved by drinkers and vintners alike is its wonderful ability to soak up the earthy, woody flavors of the oak barrels they are aged in, and present these in the glass alongside fresh, bright summer fruit notes. Whilst Sangiovese grapes are often blended during the fermentation process, they are also drank as single variety wines, both young and fresh, and aged and complex.

Region: Tuscany

The beautiful region of Tuscany has been associated with wine production for almost three thousand years, and as such is one of the oldest and most highly respected wine producing regions in the world. The hot, sunny climate supports quite a wide range of grapes, but the grape varietals most widely grown across this large region are Sangiovese and Vernaccia, both of which are used in the production of Tuscany's most distinctive red and white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and other imported grape varietals have also flourished there for over two hundred years, but it wasn't until the 1970's and the rise of the 'Super Tuscans' that they were widely used, when the fine wineries of the region began experimenting with Bordeaux style red wines to great effect.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
