Poggio al Granchio Brunello di Montalcino is aromatically expressive of perfectly ripe cherry sweet herbs dried flowers and stony earth. There is a generous purity of fruit on the palate with mineral-rich earth and it had the most balanced and harmonious structure in the lineup on this tasting with present but fine-grained tannin. I love this wine for its darker mineral edge in counterpoint with crunchy and ripe fruit. It is a super-pleasurable wine right out of the gate and will continue to be so over the next 20 or more years.
