Winemaker Notes
Poggiarellino is rooted in the Tuscany agricultural culture, which encourages a diversification of products to enable self-sufficiency. Producing olive oil, cereals, breeding animals as well as wine ensured that families were not reliant on one avenue. After a move towards specialisation in the twentieth century, producers like Poggiarellino have changed their perspective, tending their vines, olive trees and arable land for cereals in a more organic, natural method.
Their Brunello 2015 is exclusively Sangiovese grape, treated and grown via traditional methods.
The grapes are harvested manually. For the alcoholic fermentation the old and traditional techniques are observed: the nature needs its time. Brunello is aged in middle capacity slavonian oak barrels, no more than thirty hectolitres. The bottling procedure, with no filtrations, allows to respect the original soul of the wine.Aged for a further 6-8 months in the bottle
The Story
Visiting Poggiarellino was possibly the most beautiful visit we had in 2018. Ludovico and Anna are two magical, sincere humans who remind us that wine has become overly dissected in the last decades and the most important symposium and human part is often lost. There was no marketing discussion there. No talk of malolactic fermentations, no over-technical discussion of the dirt, no discussion of the Russian leather or ripe Michigan cherry aromas. In the end, it's wine and they hope you enjoy it but more importantly they hope you enjoy your conversation, friends and family and evening together.
They are located in a pleasant and peaceful corner of Sienese countryside, among the old and famous Val d’Orcia hills. The 30-acre estate is divided between vineyards, olive trees and cereal production, with just 3 acres dedicated to the production of their exceptional Brunello 2015 and Rosso di Montalcino wines. Structurally the full body and smooth tannins are carefully balanced by a bright acidity and impressively long finish which will respond well to further ageing over the next decade or so.
