Poggio al Granchio, located on the southeastern side of Montalcino, expresses the distinctive characteristics of the galestro shale soils. These soils contribute to a wine with a lower pH, higher acidity, and thick, firm tannins. Known for its muscular expression, Poggio al Granchio represents the more powerful and age-worthy side of Brunello di Montalcino.

This is rich, round and saturated with flavors of cherry, blackberry, rose hip and wild herbs. Though dense and still a bit monolithic, this red remains beautifully balanced, expressive and long, with an underlying mineral vein. Shows fine complexity and youthful vigor. Best from 2030 through 2050. 1,100 cases made, 350 cases imported.
