The name of “Montebruno,” or dark mountain, speaks volumes of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon's penetrating hue and concentrated flavors. In 2007 Montebruno shows even more definition and mineral spark. Bordeaux nobility, Tuscan soul—what more could you want? Aromas suggest blackberry jam and crushed rocks, a touch of baking spices and lovely hints of licorice. In the mouth, lacy, silky layers of black fruits blend with a touch of red-fruit freshness and earthy persistence. Long and lingering, the finish echoes Poggiarello’s unique terroir with its iron-rich, mineral edge. Expertly crafted and certainly cellar-worthy.
2007 Castello Poggiarello
1.20.2010
Everything at this enchanting estate outside Siena so puts the heart at
ease—the swooping swallows, the sweet breeze through towering cypress
trees, the homemade meal spread over a rustic table in the garden.
Natural is second nature here and deliciously so. This ancient Tuscan
estate is completely organic, from the vines to the olive trees to the
vegetables that end up on the family’s dinner table.

Castello Poggiarello Montechiaro IGT 2009
Italy
/
Tuscany
The chalky stones found in the “Montechiaro” vineyard are the same that make up Poggiarello's ninth-century castle walls. Vibrant and profound, this 100% Cabernet Franc evolves dramatically in the glass; aromas of lavender and tobacco mix with a velvety mouthful of cherries and plums. 100% organic (certified) and a gem from Siena.
