Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 is a classic expression of Tuscany's most prestigious appellation, crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese Grosso by the historic Villa Poggio Salvi estate. Situated in the heart of Montalcino, the winery is renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven Brunello that faithfully reflects the region's unique character. The vineyards are located between 350 and 500 metres above sea level, with south-west-facing slopes and galestro-rich marl soils that provide ideal conditions for producing wines of exceptional finesse, concentration, and longevity.
The outstanding 2020 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and aromatic complexity. Grapes were harvested by hand before undergoing an 8-day cold pre-maceration at 12°C, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at approximately 28°C with automatic punch-downs to maximise colour and flavour extraction. The wine was then matured for 30 months in Slavonian oak casks of varying sizes, followed by at least 4 months of bottle ageing before release. The result is a refined Brunello with remarkable purity, polished tannins, and excellent ageing potential.
