Description
2019 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Nardone
by Mocali is crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese, the noble grape of Montalcino's rolling hills. It unfolds in the glass with aromas of dried cherry, plum, sandalwood, incense, and subtle forest floor notes—each layer drifting into the next with elegance and poise. On the palate, it glides with sleek energy: waves of black fruit, tarry herb, and spice are carried by supple yet firm tannins and lifted by vibrant acidity, tapering into a finish tinged with cedar and wet stone. Aged traditionally for three years in French and Slavonian oak barrels, then bottle‑rested to emerge with both structure and seamless refinement. Perfect alongside bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses, where its intensity and balance shine. Mocali, a boutique family-run estate southwest of Montalcino, excels at crafting expressive, terroir-driven Brunellos. Their 2019 Poggio Nardone stands out for its elegance, depth, and capacity to age gracefully—an authentic expression of traditional Tuscan winemaking.
