Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino 2019

Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino 2019

A benchmark Rosso from one of Montalcino’s most revered estates, Poggio di Sotto’s 2019 captures the grace, precision, and terroir transparency that have made the domaine legendary. Often described as a “baby Brunello,” this Rosso is crafted from the estate’s organically farmed Sangiovese vineyards and handled with the same meticulous care as their Brunello—resulting in remarkable depth and refinement.

The 2019 vintage opens with lifted aromas of sour cherry, wild strawberry, and red currant, framed by rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle hints of orange peel and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and vibrant, with silky tannins and bright acidity that provide both energy and structure. Flavors of red fruit, savory earth, and mineral notes unfold seamlessly into a long, elegant finish.

More structured and serious than many Rossos, the 2019 Poggio di Sotto offers immediate charm while possessing the backbone to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
