The Poggio Nardone 2017 Brunello di Montalcino (with 8,000 bottles hitting the market now) shows plumpness and ripeness with cherry confit and raspberry preserves. Those enriched fruit flavors are carefully followed by measured tones of spice, tar, sweet tobacco and fragrant cedarwood. However, all of these aromas and flavors remain nicely balanced in this fruit-forward vintage. There is some tightness or stemminess on the dry tannins, and that is the only part of the wine that isn't integrated.
