Poggio Landi comprises 75 hectares of vineyards, stretching from the historic vineyards in the north of Montalcino to the distinctive southern terraces. This expanse encompasses variations in soil, aspect and altitude – from 300 to 500 metres – providing the winemaker with a wealth of biodiversity that he utilises as if it were an instrument. The soils consist of Pliocene clays with marl, a geological composition that lends the Sangiovese structure and depth. 2019 played its part. A regular climate with no adverse conditions, a bountiful harvest of healthy, ripe grapes: what sounds so simple here is rare in Montalcino. Two weeks of spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by 38 months in large French oak barrels of 30 and 54 hectolitres, and at least 6 months' bottle ageing.

A deep, intense ruby red. On the nose, violets and plums, followed by mineral and spicy notes of liquorice and tobacco. On the palate, it is juicy, full-bodied and rich, with fine, rounded tannins and a warm final of long, velvety persistence. The most generous of the recent vintages. SUPERIORE.DE

"This light-bodied red wine offers a core of cherry and strawberry fruit, interwoven with earthy, tobacco and mineral notes. Firm tannins take centre stage in the persistent finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2019 Poggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino has a hint of teak or an Indian furniture shop, which lends this wine a slightly exotic character. I would also add dark fruits, dried redcurrants and sweet blueberries. It finishes with medium fruit intensity and open-textured tannins, which make the wine approachable." Wine Advocate
