The 2011 Brunello Riserva from Poggio di Sotto is a beautifully sculpted, aromatically soaring expression that elevates the warmth of the vintage with the estate’s hallmark precision and grace. The nose opens with lifted notes of red cherry, rose petal, pomegranate, citrus peel, and sweet herbal tones, layered with touches of tobacco, tea leaf, and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is supple yet vertical, with bright acidity and fine, polished tannins that frame vibrant red fruit, savory herbs, saline minerality, and a gentle balsamic nuance. The finish is long, elegant, and resonant, carrying a quiet power that builds gradually without ever losing refinement. Now entering early maturity, the 2011 Riserva shows remarkable harmony and purity, offering a deeply expressive and classically poised interpretation of Poggio di Sotto’s most distinguished cuvée.

Poggio di Sotto is one of Montalcino’s most revered traditional estates, celebrated for crafting Sangiovese of remarkable finesse, lift, and terroir transparency. Perched in Castelnuovo dell’Abate on the southeastern slopes, the estate benefits from high altitude, constant breezes, and soils of galestro, limestone, and river stones that impart tension, aromatic clarity, and mineral depth. The philosophy here is one of uncompromising precision: extremely strict fruit selection, long fermentations, and aging exclusively in large Slavonian casks, all designed to preserve the purity and verticality of Sangiovese. At the pinnacle of this approach stands the Riserva, produced only in the finest vintages and sourced from the estate’s most exceptional parcels. These wines are coveted for their elegance, longevity, and profound expressiveness, consistently ranking among the most distinguished Brunelli in all of Tuscany.
