2018 Poggio San Polo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG, Tuscany, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva represents the highest possible level in terms of quality and excellence, which Allegrini pursues with an absolute respect for the environment. Lengthy ageing and skillful use of wood lend further elegance to this wine, which is adored and sought after by the greatest wine connoisseurs in the world.

TASTING NOTES: 

Intense and open nose of oranges, orange peel, wild strawberries and peonies with balsamic depth. Full-bodied with very good fruit concentration, lifted acidity and large grained tannins. Still youthful but sweet. Best from 2028.

- James Suckling, 97 pts. 

The nose sparkles with tangy aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, dried cherry and orange blossom, while the palate tosses a handful of barely ripe red berries into the mix to intensify that bouncy, lively, bright sensation. Trinchero Family Estates.
