Brunello di Montalcino

Full

Cork

At lofty heights on stony Galestro soil, Poggio al Granchio looks southeast towards the imposing extinct volcano of Monte Amiata, which protects Montalcino from rain and hail. Restrained but pretty, it displays aromas of dark florals with juniper, black tea and bergamot. Still tightly wound and linear, the palate is tangy and mineral-driven, with sneaky, understated power, while long, fine tannins give an assertive grip. This takes its name from the freshwater crabs ('granchio') found in a pond on the property.
