2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Poggio di Sotto’s 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is rich, sensual and layered. A voluptuous wine, the 2007 is laced with dark red cherries, flowers, licorice and flowers. The radiant, enveloping style is quite attractive, even at this early stage. A hint of oak suggests one of the casks was newer in this vintage, but hopefully the oak will integrate a little more with further time in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.
