Revealing a slightly darker shade of ruby red in the glass, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Poggio Al Grancio is darker but just as compelling on the nose, with notes of black raspberry liqueur, fresh flowers, sappy herbs, mossy earth, and root beer spice. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, it has a rounded, seamless feel and texture and a long, delicately savory finish, with notes of blood orange to close. It's very lovely wine to enjoy over the coming 12-15 years.
The Val di Suga 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio offers dark fruit aromas that are generous and fleshed out in this warm vintage. The bouquet has a few high notes as well with spice, tobacco and crushed stone that give upward lift. It's an all-encompassing Brunello that hits both your sense of smell and taste with an attractive level of intensity and focus.
One of three separate cru bottlings, Poggio al Granchio hails from Montalcino’s southeastern flank. The steep site sits on schisty Galestro soil and is surrounded by holm oak trees. Powerfully fragrant, the 2020 expands with liquorice, bay laurel, eucalyptus and warm wet stone. Bringing in notes of iron, the palate is well saturated with dark blue plum concentrated through the core, girdled by gravelly, tactile tannins. Full and virile, this has clearly defined boundaries and salivating acidity, with a tingly, energetic finish.
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio entices with a rich blend of plum sauce, grilled herbs, crushed rocks and lifting hints of pine. This is more lifting and pure in style, with a cascade of mineral-infused red berry fruits that course over a pulse of brisk acidity. Grippy and long, the 2020 tapers off with a mass of structure and tart concentration yet maintains fantastic energy and verve.
