Poggio Nardone 2001 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
-
$60
A liquid lullaby more than a wine, this Brunello caresses and smoothes over your senses with amazing intensity and harmonious aromas of cherry-chocolate fudge, almond paste, ginger, balsamic notes, blueberry pie, firewood and vanilla. There’s a shroud of cedar and cherry fruit within the wine’s unwavering structure and a seemingly endless finish.

Poggio Nardone’s 2006 riserva is a neverending journey of opulence and excellence. Everything is delivered in supersized intensity—the cherry, chocolate, spice, cola, cassis, leather and cedar. The mouthfeel is soft, finely textured, shapely and long-lasting. This is a beautiful wine that will age many years to come.

Poggio Nardone 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
-
$40
There’s an exotic, almost Indian personality, with aromas of dark spice, clove and cardamom. Black fruit, prune and currant are also in evidence. Bold, black and inky thick. It’s soft, round and long on the close with pretty freshness, too.
