Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2010 is a full-bodied Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. The illustrious Poggio di Sotto estate was established in 1989 by Piero Palmucci and has become one of the most sought-after producers of Brunello di Montalcino, focusing on site and clonal selection in order to produce wines of ever greater refinement and complexity. "This is a truly super Brunello from Poggio di Soto and probably its best ever. It shows decadence yet class and subtlety that only the great 2010 vintage can give it. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and layers of berries, plums, peaches and cedar. The finish lasts for minutes. Why wait on this? Open it and enjoy the magic." James Suckling, 2015

Vinous
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is drop-dead gorgeous, intensely fruit-focused yet finessed and complex, opening with masses of ripe black cherries, licorice and spice complicated by cedar shavings and a lifting hint of fresh mint. This sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, displaying a core of ripe raspberries guided by vibrant acidity as rosy inner florals form over a bed of sweet tannins. The 2010 finishes long, only gently tannic and potent, leaving earth tones and an air of worn leather to resonate as a tart blackberry note adds a pleasantly bitter crunch toward the close. Wow. This was the last vintage in which Piero Palmucci had complete control throughout the harvest and oversaw the first year of barrel aging.
