This full-bodied and robust Brunello di Montalcino from Villa Poggio Salvi is an excellent example of the style.It offers intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, spice and leather that are balanced by its firm tannins and a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with a rich and complex flavor profile that includes ripe cherries, black currants, licorice, tobacco, and a hint of espresso. The finish is long and persistent, with a beautiful balance of fruit and tannins that linger on the palate. A classic expression of the region, this Brunello is a pleasure to drink now, and will continue to improve with age.
