KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"A ripe but composed Brunello di Montalcino with tar, leather, dried brambleberries, dried tea leaves and ash. Chewy and foursquare on the full-bodied palate; the rustic tannins give this a silty, grainy quality. Decadent and powerful. Drink from 2025."

"This is a lovely expression of Sangiovese with a full and generous disposition. The Poggio Nardone 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers bright cherry, cassis, raspberry and other red berry fruits. Those fruity high notes are followed by savory tones of forest floor, candied orange peel, autumnal leaf and baking spice. The wine offers a smooth and silky mouthfeel with well-integrated tannins and a long, polished finish. This is a clean and compact interpretation of Brunello with the amped up and generous characteristics of this sunny vintage. Here is a generous Brunello worthy of a Fiorentina steak. Some 25,000 bottles comprised this release. - Monica Larner"

"The nose shows pretty red berry fruits, with sweet florals and cinnamon, as peppery herbs, moist earth, and a hint of crushed plum emerge. On the palate, silky textures contrast a mix of mineral-infused cherry and spice, all energized by zesty acidity, as fine tannins slowly mount, yet the Poggio Nardone remains juicy and fresh. The finish is medium in length and understated, resonating on wild berry fruits, leather and inner floral tones, with just a hint of sour-sweet reduction sauce. The 2015 Poggio Nardone captures all of the best qualities of the year, in a balanced and fruit-forward package with just the right amount of wood influence to give it a tactile feel without ever losing momentum. - Eric Guido"

"Aromas of cedar and dried fruit with hints of burnt orange. Medium body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little rustic but flavorful and interesting. Drink now."

"Poggio Nardone's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a darkly saturated and concentrated wine. That color is set, thanks to alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks and malolactic fermentation in oak barrel. The wine then ages in wood for three years. This is a bright, buoyant and super direct Sangiovese with a very immediate delivery of cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. In the mouth, this is a firm and well-structured wine that could do with another few years of bottle aging. - Monica Larner"

"This is earthy and smoky on the nose with plums and berries. Hints of dried fruit and spices. Full body and a fresh core of ripe berries, plums and bark. Some green tea, too. Very long and flavorful. Persistent and beautiful. Drink now or hold."

"This lively red exhibits cherry, strawberry, eucalyptus, tobacco and mineral flavors. The firm tannins work in tandem with the bright acidity, leaving a long, refreshing finish that echoes the fruit, earth and savory elements. Best from 2018 through 2028. 3,800 cases made. — B.S."
