By the bottle at Mili in SF.
Poggio di Sotto is a top Brunello producer in my mind, which means even in a challenging vintage like 2017, they made good wine that is approachable from an earlier stage.
I think 2017 is overhated with Brunello, honestly. It's not 2016 or 2019, but the 2017s I have are showing nicely now. Probably not as ageworthy, but that's okay.
Gave this a decant and enjoyed over an hour, which really opened this up.
Picked up notes of red cherry, blueberry, dried rosemary, tomato leaf, slight mint.
Would pair well with a hearty red sauce pasta, but I also think could pair well with chili momos.
92 points.
