Poggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino

Winemaker Poggio Landi on the winery

“Our vineyards are spread across different parts of Montalcino, where altitude, soil and aspect create considerable diversity. We farm organically and see this variation as one of our greatest assets, with each vineyard contributing its own character to the final wine. We focus entirely on Sangiovese, the grape that finds one of its most distinctive expressions here. By carefully selecting our grapes and allowing the wine to mature slowly, we aim to produce Brunellos that combine power and complexity with elegance and a clear expression of their Tuscan terroir.”

And on Brunello di Montalcino, Italy

“Our Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese grown in vineyards at approximately 300–500 metres above sea level. The south- and southwest-facing slopes and clay soils with marl help shape the grapes’ ripeness and structure. Following around two weeks of spontaneous fermentation, the wine matures for 38 months in large French oak barrels. It then spends at least six months ageing in bottle. Expect ripe plum, red fruit and violet, complemented by black pepper, liquorice and subtle vanilla. The palate is full and warm, with refined tannins and a long finish.”
