Note di degustazione
The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino wafts up with a dusting of exotic spice, with hints of lavender and violet pastille giving way to crushed blackberries. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and ripe wild berry fruits energized by juicy acidity as rosy inner florals and tobacco form toward the close. Wickedly fresh and perfumed, the 2018 tapers off with medium length, ending with licorice traces.

This wine has more in common with a Brunello than it does a Rosso. Made with certified-organic fruit, Poggio di Sotto's 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is a very fine and smooth expression that caresses the senses. The bouquet is enlivened by forest berry, peat moss, lilac and wildflowers. The 2018 vintage is usually understated in personality, but this wine speaks of elegance and nuance. It's just stunning.
A mix of cranberry and plum sauce gains freshness through the addition of fresh mint and flowery undergrowth as the 2018 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. The textures here are simply stunning, as this comes across as almost juicy yet also so pure, and with a balanced sweetness to its red fruits and spices that keeps you coming back for more. The 2018 has really come into its own and is definitely one of the most successful Rossos of the vintage.
The 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is a perfumed and feminine effort, blossoming in the glass to show dusty roses and violets with bright cherry and strawberry fruits. Hints of cedar and flowery undergrowth come forward over time to complete the expression. It’s silky in feel and energetic with mineral-laced, ripe red berries, spice and inner florals motivated by juicy acids. Licorice and a sweet and sour twang of wild berries linger, along with a gentle coating of fine tannin that is only felt toward the close.
