Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Intense ruby red, with purple reflections. A concentrated bouquet, with hints of black ripe wild fruit, mocha, cocoa and spices. Warm on the palate, intense, with hints of black fruit, leather and black pepper. A concentrated, round and youthful wine with very good aging potential.

Blend: 50% Sangiovese and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    A 50-50 blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Madre opens to amazing concentration and dark tones of black fruit, prune, spice, leather and tobacco. The wine shows a dense, fleshy feel and slightly astringent tannins that need time to soften. Drink: 2017-2024.
  • 91
    Aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and mint follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and an extracted finish. Sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Needs time to soften: better in 2016.

Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino's most elevated estates, with vineyards averaging 1476 feet above sea level, southwest of the famed medieval citadel. Both the unique location and altitude privilege the wines of Poggio Antico, which benefit from the perfect exposure and enjoy favorable overnight drops in temperature, ideal conditions that increase finesse and intense bouquet.

Poggio Antico was founded in 1976 and consist of 50 clayey, calcareous acres of Brunello di Montalcino. The estate has seen a phenomenal growth, going from 50 to the present 80 acres under vine, developing two parallel Brunello worlds – the more traditional, larger-barrel Brunello, aged longer in Slavonian oak and the modern, finesse-driven Altero, aged in tonneaux of French oak; securing a stellar position in the global market and extending and upgrading the facility to ultrahigh-tech standards.

In 2017 Poggio Antico changed hands and was purchased by Atlas Invest, and it is now directed by the new General Manager Federico Trost. Poggio Antico recently lead a soil survey to approach the plot-by-plot management which started with the 2018 vintage by identifying, and consequently harvesting and fermenting separately, the micro terroirs inside each vineyard. All the estate is currently under organic conversion and a renovation of the cellar and of the hospitality center are part of the new plans.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
