Brunello di Montalcino is a dry red wine made 100% from Sangiovese Grosso grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested in October, and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine ages for 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels of various sizes, followed by 4 months in the bottle. The expected aging potential is around 30 years.

On the nose, it is complex and intense, with ripe red and black fruits combined with cinnamon and other sweet spices, leather, underbrush, and tobacco. On the palate, it is enveloping and rich, with soft tannins, and the ripe fruit stands out from the bouquet.

THE WINERY

Villa Poggio Salvi

Villa Poggio Salvi was established in Brunello di Montalcino in the hills around Siena close to the Tyrrhenian Sea, where the locally produced wine has been served to prominent personalities since the 16th century. The vineyards are in a perfect location, situated at an altitude between 300 and 520 metres above sea level, surrounded by mineral-rich soils and a crisp sea breeze. Today, Villa Poggio Salvi is one of the most important producers of Brunello di Montalcino in Toscana. The high-quality of the wines produced, renowned throughout the world, is obtained according to ancient traditions. The Tuscan farm was acquired by Pierluigi Tagliabue in 1979 and was gradually restructured and modernised. Today, at the hands of his grandson Jacopo Biondi Santis, the winery is run with love, passion and great expertise by one of the best wine producers in Montalcino. The aim of the Villa Poggio Salvi winery is to make traditional Italian wines more accessible and attractive to the market and young connoisseurs. The large wine cellar located below the villa is the beating heart of the company, where tradition and innovation are perfectly combined. Name and address of producer/distributor: Villa Poggio Salvi - Strada Provinciale 103 località poggio salvi, 53024 Castiglion del Bosco (SI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
