About the Winery:
La Poderina is located just south of Montalcino in an area renowned for elegant and balanced fruit. 25 acres are dedicated to the cultivation of the Sangiovese Grosso for the production of this Brunello and Poggio Abate. These vineyards have yields well below the 32 ql/acre dictated by the appellation’s regulations.
Notes from the Winemaker:
A wonderful long maturing red wine, high expression of the tradition in Montalcino's wines productions. It has an intense ruby colour with burgundy hue and concentrated scent, enveloping, ethereal with hints of black cherry, wild berry and vanilla. The flavour is strong, quite tannic in youth, soft and persistent. Serve at 18°C in large glasses; it can be served with red and white roast meats, poultry, game and aged cheese.

Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - James Suckling:
"Black-cherry, sour-cherry and rose stem aromas follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a crisp finish. It's transparent and clear with a real sense of its vineyards. Better after 2026, when the tannins and acid will have melted together.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The well-made La Poderina 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers a wide-reaching bouquet with a little bit of everything you might expect of this celebrated Sangiovese-based appellation. There are elements of ripe fruit, blackberry, potting soil, graham cracker and sweet spice. All these various pieces get wrapped up in a nicely intense bouquet. This wine offers solid texture over a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a 68,000-bottle production."
