Cortonesi’s Brunello ‘Pogiarelli’ shows classic aromas of dried cherry, leather, spice and herbs, with firm tannins that are only now beginning to mellow at five years of age. A truly hedonistic feast of the senses. Complex aromatics transfer to the palate, where the wine exhibits impressive length and a lingering finish that will keep everyone coming back for more. Drinking well now, but will show remarkable improvement as it evolves over the next three to five years.
