Description
What kind of wine it is
Poggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an organic red wine from Tuscany, a pure expression of the Sangiovese grape variety. Born from the renowned Brunello di Montalcino denomination, this wine displays a powerful yet elegant style, supported by ripe tannins and vibrant freshness. On the nose, it is clean and intense, characterised by aromas of small dark fruits, balsamic notes and star anise. On the palate, it is balanced, enriched by spices and a delicate vanilla note derived from meticulous oak ageing.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the Montalcino area, in the province of Siena. Poggio Landi tends its vineyards with great care, enhancing the local biodiversity. With a south and south-west exposure, the vines sink their roots into mainly clay soils, situated between 175 and 500 metres above sea level. The spur-pruned cordon training system and low yields ensure remarkable aromatic concentration. These distinctive features of the terroir of origin give the wine a dense mouthfeel and deep flavour persistence.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by destemming and gentle pressing. Natural fermentation lasts about two weeks, allowing for a balanced extraction of aromas and polyphenols. Maturation requires time and patience, extending for forty-eight months in French oak barrels from Allier, and is completed by a crucial bottle ageing of at least one year. This attentive process shapes a harmonious profile, capable of releasing notes of black fruit, ripe plum and subtle toasted hints.
History and Curiosities
Born among the prestigious Sienese hills, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva from Poggio Landi enhances organic Sangiovese in full respect of biodiversity. This excellence from the 2019 vintage comes to life from vineyards cultivated up to 500 metres above sea level on predominantly clay soils. Its powerful and elegant profile is shaped by 48 months of ageing in Allier French oak barrels, followed by a year of rest in the bottle. A noble and award-winning wine, capable of offering an intense tasting experience and extraordinary longevity.
