Vinification et vieillissement

Dans ces années exceptionnelles, les raisins des vignobles les plus vieux et plus bas en altitude sont ramassés et vieillis séparément. Le vin séjourne 3 1/2 an dans le bois, la 1ère année en tonneaux français de 500 litres et le reste du temps en barriques de chêne de Slavonie. Le vin est embouteillé et poursuit son affinement en bouteilles pendant 1 1/2 an afin de compléter les 5 ans réglementaires de vieillissement.

Caractéristiques

Couleur rubis intense aux nuances grenat. Bouquet complexe aux notes de fruits sauvages, de cuir et de torréfaction. C'est un vin d'une concentration remarquable, d'une élégance rare aux riches tannins. Équilibre, rondeur et finale soyeuse sont les qualités de ce grand Brunello.

    « Good full, dark red. Superripe aromas of strawberry, raspberry jam, minerals and truffley underbrush. Sweet, dense and creamy, with a red berry cocktail quality to its luscious red fruit, mocha, pine and tobacco flavors. This has huge fruit supported by a firm mineral underpinning, and though it’s obviously high in alcohol it finishes long and sweet, with good grip and verve. A touch more finesse and this would have rated an even higher score. »

    « Very dark in color, with a complex nose of Indian tea, blackberry, licorice and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with a wonderfully integrated and polished tannin structure. Caresses every millimeter of the palate. What a joy to taste. No use waiting much. Best after 2010. »

    « The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a marvelous wine graced with expressive violets, black cherries, minerals, spices and subtle French oak. There is gorgeous clarity to be found in the glass, along with a beautiful balance of density and structure. The finish is long, vibrant and seductive. This looks to be relatively accessible early based on the sheer seductiveness of the fruit, yet the wine has plenty of stuffing to age gracefully for years. It is a beautiful effort from Poggio Antico. The Riserva spent one year in 500-liter French oak barrels, followed by two years in Slavonian oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. »
