The fermentation initiates spontaneously in truncated oak vats where it continues unabated for at least thirty days, on average. Following fermentation, Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino Riserva rests in 30hl Slavonian oak casks for 52 months. The finished wine is bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParallels to the red wines of Burgundy abound in discussions of Poggio di Sotto. The Sangiovese wines released from this special property do always favor elegance and restraint over opulence and power, yet they never lack depth. Normally a paler hue of ruby than other Brunello wines, Poggio di Sotto’s tameness of color belies concentrated aromas and flavors. The Brunello Riserva reflects the characteristics of its vintage, but with a degree of power and purity that is incomparable. A classic wine from one of the world’s great wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually at home with flavorful meats from the grill as with refined and layered dishes. Considered a \"Vino da Meditazione,\" Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is also enjoyable on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98 points Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bright red ruby red 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva takes time to open in the glass before revealing notes of wet stone, petrichor, ripe cherries, sappy earth, and fresh sage. Medium-bodied, it’s fantastically balanced, with a richness of texture that’s also never heavy. It offers ripe, well-defined tannins and a long, harmonious finish, with its darker mineral profile coming through. It’s going to need time as well.
