Country: Italy /
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Poggio Antico / Brunello di Montalcino
Poggio Antico is one of the best estates in Montalcino but the 2008 vintage doesn’t reach the impressive heights of 2006 or 2007 that showed much fuller and more generous results. This edition offers plum, wild berry and leather aromas with a lean mouthfeel and sharp acidity that will soften with a few more years of bottle aging.
