Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Tonic and bright, the organic Poggio Antico 2021 Brunello di Montalcino delivers vibrant energy and vertical lift shaped by fruit that ripened with determination on the estate’s low-fertility soils. The wine hits the mark for transparency and focus, unfolding over a silky, ample palate with length and poise, making it one of the more immediately appealing expressions of the vintage. Freshness carries the structure without demanding extended patience, suggesting early approachability without sacrificing integrity. Drink date: 2026-2042.
