Score: 90Vintage 2022James SucklingCrunchy berries, red cherries and some stones on the nose. Juicy, medium-bodied on the palate with crisp tannins and fruit followed by a bone-dry, concise finish. Pithy and almost a bit mineral at the end. Shows really good crunchiness and drinkability despite its simplicity. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2021James SucklingA solid red with crushed-berry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Some asphalt, too. Very crunchy. Give it a year or two to open. Drink after 2023.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2021Wine AdvocateThe La Poderina 2021 Rosso di Toscana is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Petit Verdot that sees stainless steel only. The wine shows dark fruit intensity with a velvety mouthfeel and lots of raw primary fruit. It shows an informal personality, but that 15% alcohol content leaves very warm sensations. This is a 13,300-bottle release.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2021 Rosso di Montalcino from La Poderina wafts up with a peppery mix of violets, lavender and wild blueberries. It’s deeply textural, with silken waves of ripe red and blue fruits that soothe the palate. Saline-mineral tones add savory tension. A subtle coating of fine tannins linger throughout the licorice-tinged finale, as the 2021 tapers off perfumed and spicy. This is one of the first 2021 Rossos I’ve had a chance to taste, and La Poderina certainly made a lasting impression.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
