Rosso di Montalcino - Poggio Cerrino - Tiezzi

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna Poggio Cerrino by Tiezzi is born from one of the historic estates of Montalcino, at the heart of Sienese Tuscany, where Sangiovese Grosso — here called Brunello — reaches its highest and most long-lived expression in Italy. Tiezzi is a small family estate that works its vineyards with certified organic methods and artisan practices, prioritising the vineyard and the cellar without commercial compromise.

The Poggio Cerrino is the estate's flagship selection: born from a specific vineyard on galestro and mineral-rich clay soils, south-east facing, that guarantees slow and uniform ripening of the grapes. The 2019 vintage in Montalcino was outstanding — a warm and dry growing season that produced Sangiovese of exceptional concentration and phenolic balance, widely considered one of the finest vintages of the decade. Ageing takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels ranging from 10 to 50 hectolitres for 45 months — well beyond the DOCG minimum of 36 months — followed by 4 months of bottle ageing before release. In total almost five years from harvest to customer.

On the nose it is extraordinarily complex and continuously evolving in the glass: dried rose, preserved cherry, tobacco, leather, truffle, oriental spice and a characteristic balsamic note recalling the rolling landscape of Montalcino. On the palate it is austere in youth, with dense and vigorous tannins that with time become pure silk — this is a wine that demands patience and reveals itself fully only after 8 to 10 years from the harvest. Vibrant acidity, full body and an exceptionally long and persistent finish.

One of the great artisan Brunellos of Montalcino, selected by Emporio Divino from among the producers who still today interpret this appellation with absolute respect and authenticity.
