Introducing Poggio San Polo Brunello di Montalcino Vignavecchia 2018, a jewel in the crown of Italian viticulture. Hailing from the sun-drenched landscapes of Tuscany, this ruby-red wine is the result of the meticulous tending of Sangiovese vines planted on rich clay soil in the esteemed San Polo estate. The vineyard's philosophy of sustainability and respect for the territory shines through with every sip. The 2018 vintage is particularly special, made utilising a combination of traditional and modern vinification techniques. The grapes were hand-picked and gently pressed, before undergoing a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation. Raised in oak for 24 months and bottle aged for another 6, this Brunello boasts a warm, velvety texture; a symphony of blackberry, cherry, and violet notes, with an enduring leather and spice finish. The Poggio San Polo Brunello di Montalcino Vignavecchia 2018 is truly a testament to the passion and expertise of the Allegrini and Lunelli families. |

James Suckling (97)Intense aromas of blue fruit, lavender and violets. Some sandalwood, too. Full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and beautiful fruit. Really racy and refined with excellent length. Drinkable now, but a few years of bottle age will make it even more beautiful. Try after 2023. |

Vinous (90)Shavings of cedar come together with wild strawberry and dusty rose as the remarkably pretty 2018 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This washes across the palate with ease, supple and soft, with tart wild berry fruit that adds a cheek puckering tension toward the close. Saline-tinged minerals and gently grippy tannins emerge providing a youthfully structured and savory finale, as a residual bump of acidity maintains a pleasant inner freshness. |
