Poggio alle Mura Riserva
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva
2013
Sangiovese from a combination of clones selected internally
since 1982.
A Brunello made from the estate's vineyards, which zoning studies,
begun in 1980, identified as the most suitable for
Sangiovese.
After a rather rainy spring and early summer,
September and October were very good, with plenty of sunshine and excellent
ventilation. These climatic conditions favored a gradual and late
ripening of the grapes, which presented themselves in excellent
quality condition, with wonderfully intense varietal aromas and a
good balance between alcohol and acidity.
The result is a complex and balanced wine, with an intense aroma
characterized by hints of plum, cherry, and small red fruits,
accompanied by balsamic and tobacco notes. On the palate, it is firm and
soft. Excellent persistence.
A long-aging wine, perfect as a meditation wine. It
pairs excellently with rich, structured dishes such as stewed roe
deer, but also with particularly savory gastronomic products such as
aged cheeses or cured meats.
