Note di degustazione
Moving to the fullest expression in this tasting, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Poggio Al Granchio is generous with black cherry, a darker mineral earth profile, wet asphalt, and crushed violets. It is full and beautifully pure on the palate, with notes of kirsch, raspberry liqueur, turned soil, and cedar, and is generous with fruit all the way through, with ripe yet fine tannins. It amplifies the style with ease and impressive skill and is another outstanding wine to drink 2025-2045.

The Val di Suga 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio (with 10,000 bottles made) opens to a pretty dark appearance and a much brighter quality of fruit (compared to Vigna del Lago) with plump cherry, black-currant and dark plum. Fruit comes from a higher elevation site at 450 meters above sea level, and this might make the difference. The wine is rather lean in terms of mouthfeel, with dusty tannins and chalky mineral sensations. Its structure is soft, generally speaking, and the wine is ready to go straight out of the gate.
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio, Val di Suga’s Brunello from the southeast of the region, grumbles up with a dark mix of crushed rocks and black currants complemented by hints of sage and sweet smoke. It washes across the palate with ease, silky and refined, displaying a balanced inner sweetness and depths of mineral-tinged red fruits. The 2018 tapers off lightly structured and with decent length, as hints of licorice and tart cherry fade. This is a lovely representation of the vineyard that is simply lacking the power of past vintages.
Deep ruby. Dark, sweet spice, gingerbread and fruit nose. Lots of ripe fruit with supple, ripe acidity and gripping, yet ripe, tannins. Very long and juicy and with lots of very ripe fruit but not really delivering more in terms of complexity than their straight Brunello, at least not at this moment. (WS)
