2019 Poggiarellino Brunello di Montalcino (Elsewhere $60) ($34.99) "This Brunello offers a blend of elegance, depth and authenticity." — Orazio Campoli, K&L Italian Wine Buyer Hailing from one of the highest-rated Brunello vintages in modern history, this is a serious Brunello at an exceptional price point. This has been a K&L staff and customer favorite sleeper pick for many vintages. A quintessential Tuscan estate, Azienda Agricola Poggiarellino has deep roots in the region's agricultural heritage. Primarily focused on self-sufficiency, the estate fosters a thriving ecology and rich biodiversity. Covering about thirty hectares in total, five are dedicated to vines, while the remainder is split between arable land, olive groves, and a small forest. True to tradition, the estate produces incredibly small quantities of exceptionally high-quality wines, with no detail overlooked. 2019 Poggiarellino Brunello di Montalcino (Elsewhere $60) ($34.99) Exclusively imported in limited quantities, the 2019 Poggiarellino Brunello di Montalcino captures the essence of this extraordinary vintage. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese and aged traditionally, it showcases vibrant red cherry, plum, and earthy undertones, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. A standout wine from a historic year, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Orazio Campoli | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: December 18, 2024 The 2019 Poggiarellino Brunello di Montalcino is a classic, handcrafted version of Tuscany's signature Sangiovese Grosso grape. Poggiarellino is a small winery run by a small family. They are located in the north of Montalcino, emphasizing the tradition, this Brunello offers a blend of elegance, depth and authenticity. The wine opens with a lively red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry. I feel a touch of dry rose petals, awesome spicy herbs and the classic touch of leather. Medium to full body. With refined tannins and bright acidity that highlight the purity of the fruit; red berry, spice and earthy tones lead to a long, balanced aroma. This wine expresses power the power of Montalcino, but you can tell it’s from the northern part of the region. Poggiarellino benefit from cooler temperatures that gives the wines outstanding freshness and precision. This Brunello is aged for 36 months in traditional Slavonian oak barrels. It maintains a classic style that honors Montalcino's winemaking heritage and at the same time, it presents an accessible and food-friendly profile. Pair this brunello with traditional Tuscan dishes like Florentine Steak, wild boar ragu or wintery risotto. Remember that the 2019 vintage's structure can age gracefully for 10-15 years, providing greater depth and complexity over time, but at the same time it is super enjoyable now. For those looking for a Brunello that reflects the spirit of Montalcino at a great price, the 2019 Poggiarellino is an outstanding choice. |
