The 2019 Poggiotondo, Brunello di Montalcino was a Merchant's Pick
NO-BRAINER 2019 Brunello!
February 13, 2024
Silky, velvety, and layered - words that come to mind when we think of Poggiotondo's Brunello di Montalcino.
Brunello is not often thought of as an everyday red - unless you are talking about Poggiotondo!
The 2019 Poggiotondo Brunello di Montalcino has a kicker this year, the 2019 season.
Always an incredible value, the 2019 is particularly stunning and has all the makings of a Brunello 3x its price.
"A really focused and rounded Brunello with lovely velvety tannins that give this length and grandeur. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a lovely intensity and texture. Lasts for minutes. A beautiful young Brunello. Better than the excellent 2016.”
We will feature several 2019 Brunello di Montalcinos as they roll in from Tuscany in the coming months. In the sub-$50 Brunello category, few, if any, will stand out, like Poggiotondo.
In any vintage, Poggiotondo is a must-have Brunello; in 2019, it is a pantry essential!
From pizza to pasta, you cannot deny the quality and value wrapped in this delicious Sangiovese.
Enjoy!
