The wine
The Riserva del Brunello Poggio Antico is produced only in the best years with an even more accurate selection. It is a wine of great structure and enhanced by a longer and more complex aging in French and Slavonian oak.
The aging process for our Riserva began with 1 year in French oak barrels, followed by 2 1/2 years in large Slavonian oak barrels. Incredibly powerful, bold, and complex, this brunello is bursting with bing and maraschino cherries, cassis, and just a hint of balsamic. This wine is enjoyable now, but can also be cellared for some time to come. Perfect with steak Fiorentina or quiet contemplation.
