La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino

La Poderina is located in Montalcino in the area of Castelnuovo dell’Abate well known for the particular “elegance and balance” of its wines. The Estate is located in front of the histyorical Benedectine abbey of Sant’Antimo, that dates back to I century a.C. Montalcino is nestled in Val D’Orcia, that was declared in 2004 from the UNESCO “Heritage of Humanity

Tasting notes:
Brunello di Montalcino is characterized by some of those same earthy notes of crushed limestone and baked clay that we saw so clearly in the other two entry-level red wines released by this estate. Wild cherry and dried raspberry cede to oregano, basil or balsam herb. However, overall the fruit intensity is faded. The tannins are on the dry side, and perhaps the heat of the vintage reveals itself there with greater clarity. This wine is best served in the near term.
