Poggio Landi, Brunello Di Montalcino, Sangiovese, Tuscany, Italy 2017

Description

Wine Spectator 92

Framed by vanilla and toasty oak, the black cherry and plum flavors in this red are focused and backed by lively acidity. A matrix of dense tannins also lurks underneath, leaving a tactile impression on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 7,500 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

Wine Advocate 93

A certified-organic wine, the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows a graceful and delicate side with wild cherries, blue flowers and warm earthiness. The wine is silky and smooth on the palate, with hints of crushed mineral or limestone. Fresh acidity fuels a long but lightweight finish. This accessible vintage (with 90,000 bottles made) is ready to enjoy in the near or medium term.

James Suckling 91

A round and juicy red with cherry, walnut and berry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Fruity and delicious, but not overdone. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
