Wine Advocate

Reviewed November 2024

This excellent wine is slated to be released in January 2025. The Poggio di Sotto 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva shows a point of brilliant fruit over a medium-plus texture. The wine exhibits dusty tannins from the galestro-rich schistic soils that have a huge impact on the elegance and complexity of this exceptional and cellar-worthy Sangiovese. The palate salivates when you taste this wine. The bouquet is refined and bright with floral tones, red fruit and pencil shaving. Everything is in perfect form and balance. The 2019 vintage has the power and muscle for a long bottle evolution. (ML)

One needs not delve further than the nose to understand the effortless power held in this 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. Exotic spices, macerated orange peel with crushed strawberry, smoky mineral, and tar beckon on the nose, with a palate of tight-rope precision. There is no posturing on the palate - it is pure and chiseled, with a beautiful freshness, a savory backbone, and long, elegant tannins that frame the endless finish. Poggio di Sotto only releases a Riserva in exceptional vintages based on monthly tasting in the cellar, and also based on an "emotional" reaction to the wine, according to winemaker Leonardo Berti.

A savory, umami nose that feels taut and energetic from the first encounter, with damp earth, black olive, Mediterranean herbs, and cranberries. Light, bright, and crunchy on the palate, with fresh cherries and berries, lots of citrus and more herbs, but then a simmering, chocolatey depth. Soaring acid lifts up dense tannins—an absolute tightrope walk that can, as always, only be Poggio di Sotto. (DC)

Review Date: 11/2024

Selected after multiple blind tastings, Poggio di Sotto’s Riserva represents a single cask distinguished by its deeper colour, youthful countenance, and – according to winemaker Leonardo Berti – the emotion it evokes. A brooding mass, the 2019 wafts furtively with gingerbread, juniper and cloves. Zesty citrus provides a countering snap. Full and still compacted, it charges the mouth with steely yet elegantly sculpted tannins and brisk acidity. Pure, dark berry fruit is lying in wait to flesh out the structure. A masterpiece of proportionality. Tuck away in the cellar. (MM)

Notes

Poggio di Sotto’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is a masterful expression of Sangiovese, showcasing the estate’s hallmark finesse, complexity, and longevity. The nose is captivating and layered, revealing ripe red cherry, wild berries, and dried rose, interwoven with notes of sweet spice, tobacco, and crushed herbs. The palate is powerful yet ethereal, offering juicy red fruit, savory earth, and finely structured tannins, all lifted by vibrant acidity. A long, resonant finish lingers with hints of balsamic, cedar, and orange zest. A profoundly elegant, cellar-worthy Brunello built for decades of evolution, perfect for truffle dishes and braised meats.
