KERIN O’KEEFE: 95/100 PER IL BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019 RISERVA VILLA POGGIO SALVI

Vibrant and elegantly structured, Poggio Salvi’s outstanding 2019 Brunello Riserva also has personality, starting with its aromas of Mediterranean brush, forest floor, leather, blue flower and spice. Picking up where the nose leaves off, the savory palate delivers ripe black cherry, spiced orange zest, truffle and cake spice. A backbone of fine-grained tannins provides support while bright acidity keeps it balanced and fresh.
