Cortonesi Poggiarelli Brunello di Montalcino 2018

For many aspects, a sort of ‘draft’ of La Mannella, to prove once again the great potential of the house territory. Nose with notes of red raspberry, with touches of white pepper and rosehip. The mouthfeel is brackish-iodine, juicy, with fruity-spicy return. [Cellar until 2026. Will hold well into the early 2040s.] Score – 96. (Luca Gardini, gardininotes.com, Oct. 2022)
