2012 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

95-Point Brunello Blockbuster

Five appearances on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list since 1990 have cemented Poggio Antico’s stellar reputation. This release comes with a glowing 95-point review from Wine Spectator’s former European Bureau Chief, James Suckling, along with a glowing review from Spectator, which calls it “pure” and “vibrant.” After three years in oak and a few years in bottle, the resulting Poggio Antico Brunello is beautifully compact, ethereal, and teeming with classic electric Sangiovese energy.

It’s no surprise this bottling is a crimson knockout.

First: 2012 was hailed “a rockstar vintage” by Suckling, and Wine Enthusiast declared there’s “more consistent quality across the denomination than even the highly acclaimed 2010s.”

Second: In a standout vintage, this is a standout wine with 95 points for its “layered and rich” profile that is “very velvety and flavorful.” The vines rooted in Poggio’s estate vineyards were planted a half-century ago, and snake through calcareous and rocky soils at nearly 1,500 feet, a micro-climate ideal for extracting incredible flavor.

Third: Brunello aficionado knows Poggio is a must-have year after year, regardless of vintage, and you can count yourself as part of the in-crowd.
