A dense, complex Brunello from one of the most beautiful and iconic vineyards in Montalcino. The Podernovi vineyard is a three-hectare site with excellent south-east exposure, situated at 450 metres above sea level. The 30-year-old vines are planted in a soil rich in galestro, clay and minerals, producing grapes that are extremely concentrated. The wine was aged for 30 months in lightly-toasted, large oak casks and spent a further six months in bottle before release.
97 points, James Suckling, San Polo, Brunello di Montalcino Podernovi 2015
A dense and layered red with plum, cherry and chocolate character. Full body. Dense and ripe tannins and a long and flavourful finish. Shows layers of fruit and rich tannins. New and exciting wine from here.
