Villa Poggio Salvi, Brunello Di Montalcino, 2019

Montalcino is a must-visit for anyone knocking around Tuscany.

It's a mecca for any wine-lover - a picturesque village with countless crannies where you can hole up for the day and get smashed on world class wine.

The village is built on the reputation of its eponymous wine, Brunello di Montalcino. So famous for it's long oak-aged, slighty oxidative, earthy, tannic style.

This is a wine built to age, with rasping Sangiovese acidity, rounding out into forest floor and minerality.

Some say it's the ultimate Italian red wine, and Villa Poggio Salvi make a strong argument for this with their critically acclaimed rendition, aged 30 months in Slavonian oak.
