The 2017 Fattoria Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino comes from the Tuscan countryside, but it draws countless comparisons to Burgundy. The 100 sangiovese displays grace and restraint over power and muscularity. The nose unveils delicate floral aromas, and while the body glides effortlessly over the palate, this Brunello does not lack depth.
 
The 2017 vintage benefits from top-tier terroir and 60-year-old vines. Thanks to well-draining clay and limestone soil, the certified-organic sangiovese developed an intense brightness and complexity. That translates to a silky body and plush tannins that should integrate with time. In her review, wine critic Monica Larner wrote, “2017 Brunello di Montalcino is an impossibly graceful wine from a challenging vintage. This bottle defies the odds.”
 
The Final Sip: Even though Montalcino and Burgundy are 600 miles apart, this highly collectible Brunello has earned comparisons to reds from the great French region.
