Tasting notes
The La Poderina 2012 Brunello di Montalcino does a terrific job and never strays far from the Sangiovese path. This is a light weight and buoyant wine with vibrant berry tones, dark fruit, plum, spice, tobacco and pressed violets. The bouquet is authentic and shapely without being too bold or overly intense. The effect is seamless, in fact with a long and silky line of aromatic descriptors that reach a nice place of unity and harmony. The mouthfeel shows similar integration with some refreshing brightness at the back. The finish is a tad short.

Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. A tiny bit grubby/reductive on the nose. Concentrated and solid fruit palate that lacks a little in expression for now. Generous fruit and tannins on the finish and well balanced. (WS)
