Wine Cortonesi, “Poggiarelli” Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 2016

Cortonesi, “Poggiarelli” Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a rounded dry red wine with excellent structure and balance, made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Poggarelli vineyard, planted in the 1970s and partially replanted in the 1990s.
