One of Tuscany’s leading family-run estates, Poggio Antico is grounded in a traditional approach to their wines, even as they embrace and explore modern techniques. As a result, their Brunellos show classic depth of character as well as unmistakable verve and enjoyability.
Robert Parker considers this to be one of Montalcino’s most consistent producers, and Wine Spectator obviously agrees, having included their wines among the Top 100 six times.
VINTAGES is pleased to offer Poggio Antico’s three most highly regarded wines in rare 1500 and 3000 mL formats.

“The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a marvelous wine graced with expressive violets, black cherries, minerals, spices and subtle French oak. There is gorgeous clarity to be found in the glass, along with a beautiful balance of density and structure. The finish is long, vibrant and seductive…” Score: 94 (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, April 2010)
“The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Altero is a silky, perfumed wine laced with dark fruit, licorice, new leather and French oak. Medium in body, this accessible Brunello offers outstanding harmony and class in a refined style…” Score: 91 (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, June 2009)
“The estate’s 2005 Brunello di Montalcino impresses with its exceptional balance. Everything comes together beautifully in the glass, as expressive aromatics lead to a well-structured, chiseled expression of fruit. To be sure, this is a decidedly understated Brunello from Poggio Antico, but the wine’s overall balance and sense of harmony are superb…” Score: 91 (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, April 2010)
