Produced only in the best vintages and in small quantities, this Riserva follows the classic promise of a traditional and powerful Brunello that becomes softer and better with age. Poggio di Sotto has undoubtedly produced one of the best wines of the vintage. This Riserva 2019 fulfils the promise of its category. This wine offers intensity and complexity in abundance. The bouquet is more refined and deeper than that of the Annata; in addition to dark fruits and blackberries, this wine shows an additional dose of cloves and spices. In the mouth, the wine is supple and silky, but it also shows impressive power and length. Those who are prepared to wait ten years or more will be rewarded in the most excellent way with this Riserva! SUPERIORE.DE

"Wonderfully finesse-rich, multi-layered, broodingnose with clear notes of blood oranges, citrus fruit, wild cherries and wet earth. Incredibly elegant on the palate, really pushes forward, powerful, super linear and tightly meshed on the final. Grandiose, salty-mineral style, shows how complex and subtle 2019 could be. Like a great Barolo. Another one of the best Riserva!" Weinwisser

"Elegant, spicy aromas of small forest fruits, violets and leather are immediately captivating; lots of polish and character, tightly woven tannins, in balance with the youthful acidity, finishes long and multi-faceted." Vinum

"Bright, luminous ruby red colour. A finesse-rich nose of toast, burnt butter, rich cherries, strawberries, pine needles, sage and precious wood, fragrant. Very savoury on the palate, with compact tannins and a very polished finish, clear cherry fruit, light minty notes, straight as a sword, fine salinity on the finish." Falstaff

"The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is still a child in its development. A bouquet of dusty earth, dried rose and scuffed leather gives way to wild strawberries, blood orange shavings and a hint of pine. Its silky textures wash over the palate, soothing and seamless, with a wave of ripe plum and cherry led by a stream of cooling acidity, while nuances of brown spice accumulate towards the finish. The 2019 rejuvenates with a savoury citrus concentration swirling beneath hints of purple flowers and lavender tones, while a layer of sweet tannins reminds the taster that this wine is far from ready to reveal all its hidden charms." Vinous

"Selected after several blind tastings, the Riserva from Poggio di Sotto is a single cask that stands out for its deeper colour, its youthful appearance and, according to winemaker Leonardo Berti, for the emotions it evokes. The 2019 is a broodingmass that secretly smells of gingerbread, juniper and cloves. Spicy citrus fruits form the antithesis. Full yet compact, it charges the mouth with steely yet elegantly moulded tannins and lively acidity. Pure, dark berry fruits lie in wait to complete the structure. A masterpiece of proportionality. Hidden in the cellar." Decanter

"Concentrated and perfumed, with aromas of violets, dark cherries, orange peel and shell limestone. Medium-bodied, with firm and refined tannins that caress the palate. It is silky and very long, showing precision and finesse with structure. Best after 2026, but it will certainly continue to mature for a very long time." James Suckling

"The Poggio di Sotto 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva displays brilliant fruit on a medium-bodied texture. The wine has dusty tannins from the galestro-rich slate soils, which have a great influence on the elegance and complexity of this exceptional and cellar-worthy Sangiovese. Tasting this wine makes your mouth water. The bouquet is refined and bright, with floral notes, red fruits and pencil shavings. Everything is in perfect form and balance. The 2019 vintage has the strength and muscle for long bottle ageing." Wine Advocate
