Description

Brunello di Montalcino "Reserve" by Poggio Salvi di Montalcino is a more structured wine than Brunello di Montalcino "Annata", resulting from a deep research work. 10 months of more aging in oak barrels give this wine even more balance, developing more complex taste and aromas with tertiary fragrances, increasing its ageing potential and making it the best product of our cellar.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1979
  • Oenologist: Vittorio Fiore
  • Bottles produced: 300.000
  • Hectares: 40
Amazed by the beauty of the landscape, Eng. Pierluigi Tagliabue decided to purchase the company in 1979, and began the restructuring of the estate. Today, Villa Poggio Salvi counts 21 hectares of vineyards in Montalcino, all planted with clones of Sangiovese Grosso. The optimum altitude, between 300 and 500 meters, the soil rich of clay and the breeze coming from the Tyrrhenian Sea, maintain the soil and the climate perfect for vineyards. In 1998 a new estate in the Chianti region, “Casavecchia”, has been added to the company, to produce Chianti Colli Senesi, Tosco and Lavischio, our IGT wines based on Sangiovese and Merlot.

Villa Poggio Salvi structure and modernity is a company that looks to the future with passion and competence, under the wise direction of Pierluigi Tagliabue and his grandson Winemaker Luca Belingardi.

In October 2023, Wine ENTHUSIAST, the most widely read wine magazine in the United States, awarded some of our wines with excellent ratings:

- Brunello di Montalcino Pomona 2018 (95 pts)
- Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2017 (94 pts)
