The Sangiovese wines released from this special property do always favor elegance and restraint over opulence and power, yet they never lack depth. Normally a paler hue of ruby than other Brunello wines, Poggio di Sotto’s tameness of color belies concentrated aromas and flavors. A profile anchored in bright cherry fruit is framed by highlights of balsamic, baking spice, and candied orange peel. The tannin structure is firm yet ripe and will carry the wine well through decades of cellaring. A classic wine from one of the world’s great wine regions.\u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\u003ch5\u003eExpert Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker: \u003c\/strong\u003e97\u003cp\u003eVery much still a baby at the time of my tasting, the Poggio di Sotto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shares many similarities with the epic 2016 vintage in terms of its pretty perfumes and polished length. However, this elegant wine does not have the same sheer inner power. This bottle ultimately offers a fresh and charming interpretation of Sangiovese. This is a delicate wine with floral aromas, wild rose, crushed stone and white cherry. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks, it requires more time to flesh out. Harvest started the last week of August and finished the first week of October, which represents a conscious decision to start picking earlier than most. The vineyards are planted on schistic galestro soils, and that territorial imprint comes through strongly in all of these wines. I love that refreshing hint of lemon rind or navel orange at the very end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling: \u003c\/strong\u003e97\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRestrained strawberries and cherries, with a touch of lavender and a lot of licorice. Super juicy on the palate with thick, chalky tannins at the moment, yet they are balanced by supple, sweet fruit. Medium- to full-bodied with a very savory aftertaste. Though pleasant, it’s not fully ready to drink now, and there’s a lot of potential for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poggio di Sotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51312824385572,"sku":"A8121","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1997\/1819\/files\/test-red-bottle-finding-wine_756_540x_81e26b0a-2de1-46ec-b1af-c18a6295f09b.jpg?v=1787847527","url":"https:\/\/finding.wine\/products\/poggio-di-sotto-brunello-di-montalcino-750-ml-2020","provider":"finding.wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
