The Poggio Landi estate has 75 hectares of vineyards, which skirt some of the most prestigious areas of the denomination, from the historic Montalcino vineyards in the north to those rich in character in the south. A vast surface area, guaranteeing variations in soil and exposition as well as altitudes above sea level. Every wine is the product of vineyard work aimed at maintaining balance among the wines with care taken to preserve the vitality of the soil. Spontaneous fermentation using solely indigenous yeast, is essential for expressing terroir. Refinement in large French oak casks is key to maintain the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes.
 
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Poggio Landi rises from a mono-varietal selection of top-choice Sangiovese grapes picked from the Poggio Landi vines growing at an altitude of 180-500 meters above sea level.
 
Aged for 38 months in French oak barrels and 6 months in bottles, the Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Landi speaks of vigor and elegance, sounding out the very characteristics that have won this wine variety worldwide fame and acclaim.

Winemaker’s tasting Notes: Complex on the nose, with distinctive nuances of ripe red fruit and spices such as black pepper and licorice. The same ripe red fruits continue along the palate, accompanied by vanilla notes. Long, layered finish.

 

This powerful Brunello is reined in by a vivid acidity and perfectly managed tannins that are both refined and well-integrated. Aromas of sweet berries and orange peel make for an inviting introduction, while broad and mouth-filling flavors of black cherry, graphite, flowers and stony minerality insist that you take off your coat and stay a while.
