Brunello di Montalcino is one of the finest expressions of Sangiovese fruit from Tuscany. While Chianti wines can sometimes have a ruddy astringency, fruit growing in Montalcino tends to have a silkier, softer profile. Poggio San Polo Brunello di Montalcino exudes elegance, with velvety tannins softened by 30 months of aging in mixed-size oak casks, followed by six months in the bottle. The extensive aging ensures the wine is ready for consumption upon release. And you will want to drink this wine. Ripe red berries, cherries, and currants meld with savory woody herbs, earthy truffle, and espresso, perfect for a pairing with a Sunday ragu, bolognese, mushroom risotto, or roasted porchetta. Allow the wine to open a bit before enjoying, then sip slowly, enjoying every silky sip.
