La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino 2010


Sangiovese Grosso

La Poderina

La Poderina remains one of Montalcino's best kept secrets, perhaps because it gets lost within the umbrella of its parent company, SAI Agricola. At their best, the Poderina wines capture the breadth and generosity that are such signatures of the southern part of Montalcino.
La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino 2010

La Poderina's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a classic wine from this southern edge of Montalcino. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, spice and leather notes open up in a rich, resonant wine bursting at the seams with personality. The 2010 needs a few years to soften, but it is already striking and absolutely delicious.
