A very traditional Brunello di Montalcino, the one offered at Poggio San Polo owned by the Allegrini winery. A typical and decidedly recognisable Sangiovese. A wine that is already good now but that has the makings of a wine that can age much longer in the cellar, developing those notes of evolution that the most expert tasters like so much. Its vinification takes place in cement vats followed by a long period of maturation in wood. At least 2 years in large French oak tonneaux. The result is a wine with an intense ruby red colour with garnet hues that on the nose reveals all the typical aromas of violets and small red fruits that we would expect from a good Brunello di Montalcino. Hints of underbrush, wood, vanilla and subtle notes of coffee are also discernible. In the mouth it is intense, persistent and full-bodied, with a long, pleasantly tannic finish.
