Poggio Lontano 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino

 



Poggio Lontano 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino, $21.99, 88 points, poured a bright ruby red with orange highlights, a broad clear meniscus, and thin copious legs.
Aromas were moderately "dumb", but soft notes of red raspberry, mushrooms, and rose pedal were pleasant.
This was a dry near full-bodied Brunello delivering thick cherry fruit flavors with notes of black tea, citrus, and plums.
Tannins were upfront supportive without being astringent, acidity was good, and alcohol (14%) was balanced.
This Trader Joes Brunello finished a bit tart, astringent, and flavor thin; it's difficult to find such a red wine for this price though.
Paired fine with my veggie pizza.
