The special microclimate and terroir, the low yields, the exceptional quality of the fruit that is manually picked and rigorously selected, and the meticulous care given during vinification and aging all render Poggio Antico's Brunello intricately elegant and brooding. It is a wine that shows even more of its generosity with time.
Poggio Antico produces two styles of Brunello di Montalcino. We refer to one as "classic", and we call the other (more modern)expression "Altero". This section describes our "classic" Brunello.
The rules and laws for obtaining the appellation of Brunello di Montalcino dictate that the minimum aging period in wood is two years, after which the wine must spend four months in the bottle before release. Nonetheless we at Poggio Antico prefer to extend the aging period in wood from two to three years for our "classic" Brunello, keeping it in the traditional large Slavonian oak barrels. Furthermore, because we strongly believe in the importance of releasing a wine that already shows great fragrance and finesse, we give our "classic" Brunello at least twelve months of aging n the bottle (three times the minimum required). |
