The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio Abate is another impeccable wine from La Poderina, only this expressions is a lot more expansive and saturated in terms of its density and concentration. A dark, supple texture is layered with ripe fruit, licorice, balsam herb and soft spice. This austere 2008 vintage shows good structure and extra bright acidity that will serve the wine well as it ages over the years. Drink: 2016-2026. The Saiagricola group owns several properties throughout Tuscany and Umbria spanning the wines of Montepulciano, Montalcino and Montefalco – the three magnificent “Ms” of central Italian red wine.
