Purchased in 2012 by wine entrepreneur Alejandro Bulgheroni (whose other Tuscany estates include Podere Brizio and Dievole), the quality of the Poggio Landi Brunello has steadily climbed over the past decade, with consistent 90 plus ratings across vintages. Led by consulting oenologist and Tuscan native Alberto Antonini (whose experience includes head winemaker for Antinori and Col D'Orcia, consulting for Concha y Toro and his own project Altos Las Hormigas), Bulgheroni's team immediately began upgrading viticulture and winemaking at the estate, instituting biodynamic and organic growing practices, and implementing natural yeast fermentation. The improvements culminate in this extraordinary 2016 Poggio Landi Brunello, which displays aromas of black cherry and tobacco leading to juicy red cherry and a hint of pepper on the palate, finishing with earthy nuances and fine-grained tannins.
The Wine Advocate's Monica Larner called the 2016 vintage in Brunello one of "classic purity and linearity... power and elegance" and according to Eric Guido of Vinous, the 2016s are "wines that capture your imagination... that you simply can't help but revisit a glass over and over again." The exceptional vintage combined with thoughtful viticulture and winemaking prowess combined to produce this outstanding 2016 Poggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino. A pleasure to taste now but possessing an underlying elegant structure, this cellar-worthy Brunello will just improve with age. |
