The estate’s 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a soft, supple effort. Silky tannins frame a graceful core of perfumed ripe fruit. This medium-bodied Brunello reveals terrific length and focus in a mid-weight, polished style. The wine is likely to acquire more complexity in bottle but its balance makes it one of the more accessible 2004 Brunellos. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino’s most consistent producers. The wines are made in a rich, fruit-driven style. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
