Notes | |||
"Ruby red in color. Concentrated fruit nose with notes of black cherry and raspberry with an undertone of vanilla. Full and balanced with a persistent finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Aromas of cherries, walnuts and orange peel follow through to a medium body with firm and fine tannins and a pretty finish. Drink now." —James Suckling "La Poderina's 2018 Rosso di Montalcino opens to a light ruby color that shines nicely in the glass. The aromas open to wild fruit and tart cherry, but there's a mineral note as well, with crushed stone or pencil shaving. Seeing 10 months in steel vat, this is a lean and tonic Sangiovese that would pair with a simple pasta al pomodoro with extra Parmigiano cheese grated over. Those chalky mineral tones give the wine better sharpness and definition compared to many of its peers. Some 44,000 bottles were rolled out, and you get great value with this bottle." —Wine Advocate |
