Poggio Antico

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 93

Drink To: 2024-2038

The vineyards of Poggio Antico rest on the highest hills of Montalcino. The ancient and mixed soil is made up of calcareous rock and galestro (marl) forcing the Sangiovese grape to bring out its best expression, resulting in complex and elegant wines: the iconic Brunello. Poggio Antico is the soaring home of Brunello: an exclusive experience in the light and colors of the most authentic Tuscany. Made with 100% Sangiovese according to the traditional method, this Brunello embodies all the characteristics of the variety. Long aging in the barrel and in the bottle endow this wine with structure and complexity: a great classic.

Poggio Antico is another one of those Montalcino estates that you will forever remember if you've been lucky enough to visit. The vineyards enjoy unobstructed views all the way to the Tyrrhenian Sea (I think this is the only place in the appellation where you can see the water on a clear day). Fruit for the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is sourced from the I Poggi parcel with thin galestro and alberese soils. There is a lot of fresh fruit here, and the tannins are quite soft and supple. Production is 38,000 bottles.

Maturing and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic sweet raspberry nose that is almost a little jammy. Very ripe raspberry and strawberry fruit with a creamy note and lots of supple acidity. Rather flashy and more time is needed for the oak to fully integrate. (WS)
