Podere La Vigna 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
You get a mouthful here: clove, spice, balsam tones, cola, eucalyptus and black fruit all come pouring out of the glass. The wine boasts an immediate and vertical rush on the senses that leaves long and lingering impressions of smoked bacon and fennel seed.

Podere La Vigna 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
Cherry, tobacco, earth, sandalwood, with balsam notes and a touch of horse saddle for a warmer, earthier veneer. The tannins are firm and drying but not aggressive and there’s some wet slate or crushed stone on the finish.

Podere La Vigna 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Here’s a thick and concentrated Brunello with meaty aromas of smoked bacon and air-dried beef. The fruit notes are on the mature, jammy side and there’s also a hint of wet earth or white mushroom that is typical of Sangiovese Grosso in warmer vintages like 2005. It delivers gritty, raw tannins that need a few years to unwind.
