2018 Podere La Vigna Brunello Di Montalcino | Wine Library

James Suckling – Jamessuckling.com

“An open and fragrant Brunello with raspberries, sour cherries, earth, hints of nori, cloves, cumin and peach stones on the nose. Full-bodied with firm yet velvety tannins. Polished oak spice beautifully complementing the fruit. Try from 2023.”

“Podere La Vigna found a lovely balance from the vintage. Uniquely spicy and exotic from the first tilt of the glass, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens up with notes of white pepper, rose petals, crushed rocks and dried black cherry. It’s rich and supple on the palate, with a balsamic tinge to its dark red berries and sweet inner herbal tones. The 2018 finishes structured, yet not achingly so, with a pleasant inner sweetness and a minty freshness that lingers incredibly long.”
