Riserva

Montsanto's top bottling has been produced since 1962. Winemaking has evolved only slightly over the years and during this era Il Poggio was aged in a combination of new and used barriques. While I remember the 1999 being quite austere even at 10 years old, this has yielded though is still muscular. Cherry and pressed violet mingle with autumn leaves, black tea and earth. Brilliant tangy acid and lots of powdery, dusty tannins support this spectacular wine.
