Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Villa Poggio Salvi

With the Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When held at a slight angle, a transition of the wine color towards garnet red can be seen at the rims of this barrel-aged wine. Swirling the glass reveals this red wine’s high viscosity, visible in the pronounced church windows on the glass wall. The nose of this red wine from Tuscany captivates with hints of violet, raspberry and red currant. Its distinctly fruit-driven character is precisely what makes this wine so special.

Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine drinker. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, as might be expected from a wine in the icon-wine segment. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an exceedingly velvety texture. The finish of this matured red wine from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, more precisely from Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, ultimately impresses with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the marl-dominated soils.
