Dark ruby red in colour that is intensely concentrated and has overtones of purple, demonstrating the vintage's tremendous energy. evolved and savoury, with lovely scents of leather, spice, and luscious red wildberries. Intense and grand in scale, yet rounded and incredibly elegant. Excellent balance between sweet velvety tannins and integrated acidity. Smooth and tenacious to finish with wonderful potential for ageing.

Made with 100% Sangiovese according to the traditional method, our Brunello embodies all the characteristics of the variety. A selection of the best plots from 3 areas. Long aging in the barrel (30 months in 25 and 40-hl Slavonian oak) and 18 months in the bottle endow this wine with structure and complexity: a great classic.

This wine makes a wonderful accompaniment to duck, herb encrusted lamb, pasta with a ragu sauce and steak.

Southwest of the renowned mediaeval fortress, Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino's highest estates, with grapes that are on average 1476 feet above sea level. The wines of Poggio Antico benefit from the perfect exposure and enjoy beneficial diurnal shift, ideal conditions that promote finesse and powerful bouquet. Both the unique location and altitude are advantages for the wines.

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows a pretty, mid-weight appearance with shiny dark ruby highlights. The wine offers soft fruit with cherry and wild forest berry at the front. On a second wave, it delivers light spice, earthy mineral and cured tobacco. Both the fruity and the savory sides of the wine are well balanced over solid tannic support and balanced freshness. Drink to 2040."

"Lovely purity of fruit with aromas of peaches, plums, ripe cherries and lemons, alongside some spice box and moss. Medium to full body with fine, creamy tannins. Wonderfully juicy and approachable with a supple and seamless finish. Drink now or hold."

"Lustrous mid ruby. A tiny bit reductive and closed right now and only showing savoury, minerally hints. Lots of suave, polished marasca-cherry fruit with finely grained, but firm, tannins and super-attractive, supple, tangy acidity. Still not entirely open but with lots of potential. Drink to 2032."
