A Brunello of great personality. Multifaceted nose with hints of vanilla, blackberry jam and rose hip. Iodized mouth, savoury and crunchy tannins. Final floral and fruity return.

The Cortonesi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Poggiarelli draws its fruit from a vineyard planted in the 1970s and replanted in part during the 1990s. Its fruit has made this designate wine since 1998, and like many of the Selezioni (and the Brunello cru expressions), this wine shows a pretty mineral character that lifts above the bright red fruit. It's absolutely true that these special sections from Montalcino are always recognized by their terrain or soil-adjacent aromas. In this case, I can smell those inty or gravel-like tones from the schistous Galestro rocks. That special aromatic signature is followed by dark fruit and balsam herb, rm tannins and bright acidity. This is a limited 4,000-bottle release.
