The 2017 Il Poggiolo Brunello di Montalcino delights with rich flavors of blackberry and cherry, balanced by savory accents of leather, tobacco, and subtle spices like licorice and tar. This well-regarded Brunello holds respectable critic scores from Wine Spectator 93 praising its vibrant fruit and smooth texture. Enjoy this elegant wine alongside hearty meat and game dishes, as well as rich, savory pasta courses like mushroom risotto, to balance its youthful acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins.
