"Although this wine was very shy initially, the Poggio di Sotto 2019 Brunello di Montalcino eventually hits all the high notes of Sangiovese. This is a wine of enormous inner tension, showing a punchy, lifted personality with aromas of cherry skin and blackberry. You get brandied cherry, strawberry glazed pie with the gelatin, underbrush, blue flower, forget-me-nots, balsam herb, mint and licorice. A few hours later, the wine had developed into a classic beauty with slender lines, firm structure and a sparkle of brilliant acidity. The oak is integrated to the point of invisibility, the tannins are elegant and fine and the acidity is that proverbial cherry on top. Ultimately, I liked this village bottling more than the 2018 Riserva."

"Dusty roses, worn leather, dried strawberries and arid earth form a classic bouquet as the dynamic 2019 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is feminine yet deep and textural, with ripe plums and black cherries motivated by brisk acidity. Violet inner florals and licorice hints form toward the close. The 2019 leaves a salty mineral staining to mingle with fine-grained tannins and spice, as it finishes with incredible length, yet still so fresh. This is incredibly youthful and inward today, but the potential is off the charts. I expect the 2019 to put on some weight and blossom over the next five to ten years. Glorious."
Decanter 95 points
"With vineyards extending from 200 to 450 metres on diverse soils and at varying exposures, as well as a wealth of old Sangiovese biotypes, Poggio di Sotto harnesses the complexity of its elements. Rose and red cherry then smoke and liquorice tea waft evocatively, begging a sip. There's sweetness to the fruit flavours, but the palate is still tightly wound. Fleshy nectarine hangs off chalky, ‘al dente’ tannins, and rejuvenating acidity soars, lingering with a citrus tang on the finish. The balance of structure is effortless."
