Score: 87Vintage 2023Jeb Dunnuck The 2023 Rosso Di Montalcino pours a bright ruby red color and leads with notes of pencil shavings, redcurrant, and menthol. The palate is tangy and medium-framed, with nervous, coiled tannins, snappy acidity, and a clean finish with pleasing salinity. The oak stands out a bit for my taste in the profile and structure, but it's a charming wine that I would prefer to enjoy while it retains its tension.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2022Wine AdvocateThe 2022 Rosso di Montalcino offers a strong mineral signature in front of bright cherry and cassis. The effect is simple, but the layering is elegant and attractive. You feel the finely grained tannins, and ultimately, this wine drinks with a bigger style compared to your standard Rosso. These are great results, especially at this price point. Production is 40,100 bottles.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2022VinousThe 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is unmistakenly a wine produced by La Poderina. Chalk dust, lavender, blackberries and white pepper make up its bouquet. This is spicy and lifted in feel with masses of ripe red and blue fruits, all propelled by zesty acidity. A saline tinge lingers as the 2022 tapers off with decent length and concentration while repeating its spicy persona throughout.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Wine AdvocateWith fruit picked over a 5.6-hectare vineyard at 300 meters in elevation, the La Poderina 2021 Rosso di Montalcino has tart fruit and dried raspberry with grilled herb and blue flower. This lean-bodied wine finishes short with crispness and cooling acidity. This is a 29,800-bottle release.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateThe 2020 Rosso di Montalcino (with 29,400 bottles produced) shows simple lines and an accessible personality with redcurrant, sour cherry, baked clay and lavender essence. The wine is identified by its very Mediterranean or Italian traits that specifically link it to the breezy hillsides of Montalcino, Tuscany. La Poderina does a nice job with its Rosso program.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Rosso di Montalcino wafts up with a classic La Poderina bouquet of crushed stone, violets, lavender and plums. Its silky textures are nicely matched by ripe wildberries and sweet inner spices, as brisk acids maintain poise. The 2020 leaves the palate dry with lasting minerality and a subtle coating of fine tannin.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2019James SucklingA rich sangiovese with cherries and hints of toffee and walnuts. Medium-bodied with medium, round tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2018Wine AdvocateLa Poderina's 2018 Rosso di Montalcino opens to a light ruby color that shines nicely in the glass. The aromas open to wild fruit and tart cherry, but there's a mineral note as well, with crushed stone or pencil shaving. Seeing 10 months in steel vat, this is a lean and tonic Sangiovese that would pair with a simple pasta al pomodoro with extra Parmigiano cheese grated over. Those chalky mineral tones give the wine better sharpness and definition compared to many of its peers. Some 44,000 bottles were rolled out, and you get great value with this bottle.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2018Vinous MediaI find a remarkably pretty display of fresh strawberry and lifting floral tones, crushed stone, and hints of peppery herbs in La Poderina's 2018 Rosso di Montalcino. The 2018 is soft, motivated by brisk acids with a twang of zesty tart berry fruits and inner violet tones. It isn’t just juicy; the 2018 also has a wonderful twist of citrus, spice, minerals and brisk acids throughout the finish that just begs you to take another sip.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2018Wine SpectatorA sleek style, this red offers cherry, earth and tobacco flavors. Approachable, with a little kick of heat on the finish. Drink now. 2,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2018Wine EnthusiastThis has a subtle nose suggesting dark-skinned fruit, violet and a whiff of moist earth. The linear palate is on the lean side, evoking pomegranate, star anise and sage alongside bright acidity and dusty, drying tannins.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2017James SucklingThere’s lots of ripeness here with dried berries, dried red cherries and some herbs and tobacco. Medium body, fine tannins and a drying finish. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2017Wine EnthusiastThe nose is rather closed but eventually reveals leather, pipe tobacco and botanical herbs. The firm, no-frills palate offers blackberry jam and star anise alongside dusty tannins. Drink soon. KERIN O’KEEFEShelf TalkerFull Page Review
