"A welcome return to the Three Glasses for Brunello Poggio all'Oro Riserva '04, proposed for the first time after the '99 vintage. Very elegant, it has an intense nose, with balsamic notes and blackberry and cherry jam. The tannins are smooth, the progression compelling, for a finish of great persistence."
-Gambero Rosso Wines of Italy 2011
Poggio all'Oro Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG, is a rarity, produced only in excellent vintages. Before the award-winning 2004 vintage, the prestigious Riserva was only produced nine times since 1985, the first year of production.
