รายละเอียดสินค้า
97 Point by James Suckling "This understated Brunello delivers dried cherries, cumin, terracotta, rust and bark. The full-bodied palate presents an intricately detailed tapestry of finely interwoven tannins, interspersed with compressed, vibrant cherries and gilded in colorful, gleaming acidity. The finish is vivacious and polished and very long. Drink from 2024."
95 Point by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Poggio Antico brings us a classic expression of Sangiovese in its 2015 Brunello di Montalcino. The warm vintage has shaped more density and volume in the fruit, but fundamentally this wine holds tight to the bright and fresh taste profile that is characteristic of Brunello. The key is the acidity that remains an integral and important element in the fundamental architecture of this wine. That natural crispness serves to underline lively fruit flavors of wild cherry and pressed violets. Background tones of earth and black licorice also appear. The team at Poggio Antico, located at one of the highest altitudes in the appellation (from 500 to 550 meters above sea level), has worked well to preserve the cool climate characteristics in this very warm and sunny vintage. Some 36,000 bottles were made. This wine went into bottle in August 2018 and hit the market in January 2020."
94 Point by Wine Spectator "Cherry, plum, earth, wild scrub and salty flavors are the hallmarks of this dense, hefty red. An iron note becomes more prominent as this evolves on the palate. Well-balanced, with the ripe fruit and saline elements lingering on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2043."
92 Point by Wine Enthusiast "Forest floor, mature red berry, dried tobacco leaf and balsamic whiffs of camphor come together on this. It’s firm and concentrated, delivering dried black cherry, licorice and coffee bean framed in velvety tannins. Drink 2022–2027."

เนื้อหาสินค้า
Nestled high up in the Montalcino Hills, the Poggio Antico is an Italian wine estate that practices sustainable winemaking practices. The wines here are elegant, complex and unique because the team takes care of every single detail. It also maintains yield as low as possible to focus on the overall quality of the final output that is sent for bottling.
The vineyards of Poggio Antico can be found at an altitude of 480m above sea level, which is one of the highest of all vineyards located in Brunello. The mountain climate combined with the nearness of the Tyrrhenian Sea ensures that the vineyards enjoy a steady flow of breeze even during the dry seasons. The breeze is an important reason for the elegance in the fruits grown here.
While the estate stretches up to 200 hectares, close to 33 hectares are under vine currently. Most of the vines that are planted here belong to the Sangiovese varietal. The soil, climate and overall terroirs of Brunello appellation are highly suitable for growing Sangiovese. All the vineyards are found within this estate itself, and the estate makes wines from its home-grown grapes.
The winemaking philosophy at the Poggio Antico estate is to produce the best quality of wines that reflect the true character of the soils. Therefore, they practice various sustainable techniques such as low yields, hand-pruning, hand-harvesting and more. Recently, the vineyards moved to a parcel management system, thanks to which every single micro-terroir is being given a lot of attention & care to produce the best quality of yield.
For the last 3 years, the estate has been practicing organic winemaking techniques at the farm. The cellar is strategically located right at the centre of the estate to avoid any kind of delay that may arise in processing the grapes. This also helps the team to make highly exquisite and elegant wines consistently.
