The most famous red wine made in Tuscany is Brunello di Montalcino. 100% Sangiovese aged five years after harvest, Poggio il Castellare is known for their ripe, powerful aromas, with an underlying intensity and weight that is typical of the southern vineyards. A powerhouse red wine, and one of the last of the historic 2016 vintage to be released, this modern styled Brunello develops aromas of red fruits, with violet and black cherry notes, rising on the long coffee and oaky finish. Beautifully pure and inviting, with sweeping acidity and soft, ripe tannins. This is a serious, age worthy Brunello that could easily go 15 years in the cellar...if you can keep your hands off it!
"This Brunello is well-marked by new oak, adding a vanilla note and wood tannins. Black cherry, blackberry, iron and menthol flavors lay underneath. Dusty tannins line the finish, which is long, finding a nice equilibrium. Best from 2024 through 2038. 5,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported." The Wine Spectator, 94 Points
