La Poderina Description
The highest expression of Montalcino and the characteristics of elegance and depth of the southeast area of the denomination that hosts our Sangiovese Grosso vineyards. A Brunello that never ceases to amaze us and at the same time pushes us to improve and ‘look beyond’ in our journey towards an ever deeper understanding of this wonderful enological jewel. The long aging, combined with the time spent in wood, enhances its aromas and fragrances.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Showing a velvety dark and enriched appearance, the La Poderina 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is packed tight with dark fruits, baked blackberry and sweet tobacco. The bouquet delivers a lot of intensity. Indeed, the wine is rather streamlined in terms of texture, with medium length that is pushed along nicely thanks to the natural freshness of the Sangiovese grape. That acidity is key in a wine such as this; it carries a little extra concentration and oak spice.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Candied-cherry and orange aromas with a hint of cedar follow through to a medium body with tight and lightly chewy tannins and a citrusy finish. Tight at the end. Needs to open and soften.
Vinous: 90 Points
A cascade of violets and lavender give way to stone dust, crushed chalk and blackberries as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. Cool-toned, soft and plain, this displays sleek red and black fruits, guided by brisk acidity, yet I find myself craving more complexity. The 2020 finishes with medium length, leaving a framework of fine tannins and the resonance of sour cherry.
