Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino 2017

The variety of soils present in Poggio Antico offers rich and complex nuances: different expressions of the same vine can be found within the same vineyard. Thus emerged the Soil Units: 15 micro terroirs and 6 Macro units that enhance the Estate’s “geological symphony”. The Soil Units go beyond the idea of «vineyard», dividing the 35-hectare property in areas with soils having the same characteristics, which can be found on different plots. Each Soil Unit is a “voice” of Poggio Antico, a unique and possible expression of its terroir. The Soil Units offer an insight on the “natural origins” of each vineyard, identifying the needs of each area and the right time for harvest. In the cellar, the Soil Unitsare vinified and fermented separately. After tasting the fruit of every single vinification, the “sound” of each Unit is harmonized to create the final wine.

The vineyards of Poggio Antico rest on the highest hills of Montalcino. A 35-hectare (86 acres) vineyard area is cultivated at an altitude of almost 500 meters (1,640 ft).
