Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino 2020 pours an intense, elegant ruby red color with brilliant garnet reflections in the glass. The highly expressive bouquet opens with layered aromas of wild red forest berries, preserved strawberries, and red plums, beautifully integrated with secondary complexities of lavender, sage, toasted cedar, and a touch of fresh earth. On the palate, this full-bodied Tuscan red delivers an approachable yet deeply structured mouthfeel characterized by crisp, mouthwatering acidity and coiled, fine-grained tannins. Pure flavors of black cherry, dark spice, and subtle umami undertones seamlessly intertwine with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg derived from its traditional large oak cask aging, culminating in a persistent, juicy, and mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with slow-braised wild boar ragù, grilled Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted rosemary lamb chops, or mature aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.
