The Cortonesi family has been a cornerstone of the Montalcino region for decades. Established in the 1970s, their estate spans 138 acres in one of the area's most storied regions, with 19 acres dedicated to producing world-class Brunello. The family began commercially selling their wine in 1985, and today, third-generation winemaker Tommaso Cortonesi continues the tradition. Tommaso combines his long-standing family traditions with modern technologies to craft some of the finest expressions of Tuscan Sangiovese.
Poggiarelli is a Grand Cru single vineyard of a little less than 5 acres located on the south-eastern side of Montalcino. This vibrant and well-structured wine offers bold aromas of cherry, leather, and earthy minerals, with a hint of balsam herbs. The palate shows a meaty richness, all the while remaining refined and balanced. Warm, building tannins support the concentrated fruit, leading to a long and lovely finish. This wine has a lot to offer as it matures and will be a great addition to any cellar.
With its complex and structured character, Brunello is always a solid accompaniment to cooked meats and firm cheeses.
