Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Riserva docg. 2016 0,75l

Poggio Antico’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva captures the most concentrated and age‑worthy expression of the estate’s sangiovese. Produced from rigorously selected grapes, it spends many months in large French and Slavonian oak casks before extended bottle ageing. The nose offers layers of dark cherry, plum and blackberry, framed by dried herbs, sweet spices, leather and tobacco. On the palate the wine is powerful and compact, yet finely balanced by vibrant acidity and tightly knit tannins. This Riserva promises a long evolution in the cellar and pairs beautifully with rich game dishes, braised beef and mature Tuscan cheeses.

Thirty months of barrique ageing concentrates the structure of the Riserva and carries its powerful Sangiovese fruit.

Vineyards rising beyond 550 metres meet steady breezes and wide diurnal shifts, slowing ripening and preserving natural freshness, a cornerstone for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG....

The grape variety: Sangiovese

Sangiovese is Italy's leading red grape, famous in Tuscany. It brings cherry fruit, herbs, savoury spice, lively acidity and firm structure to many classic Italian wines.

It pairs beautifully with tomato pasta, pizza, grilled meat, roast pork, mushrooms and pecorino. A versatile choice for lovers of elegant, food-friendly reds. Sangiovese
