Surrounded by forests teeming with wild animals and boars, Poggio Salvi has one of Montalcino’s most isolated and unique vineyards. This wine offers cherry and spice aromas with an easy but extremely polished mouthfeel. Bright acidity at the end underlines those vibrant berries flavors.

A bit lean throughout but with its good points. Mild aromas of tobacco and greens suggest some underripeness, but there’s also good raspberry and strawberry flavors. The proper tannic structure makes it crisp and precise on the finish. From Biondi Santi.

Easy in approach and execution, this is a traditional Rosso di Montalcino characterized by immediate blueberry and wild strawberry aromas that you will want to drink with roasted pork or wild mushroom risotto. There are multiple layers to the nose as aromas of almond, cola, sweet cherry blossom and garden herbs peel off the longer you keep the wine in your glass.

This boasts a brilliant ruby color and a very beautiful appearance that is enhanced by its large aromatic offering. Blueberry, raspberry and cherry are backed by roasted nut and spice tones that are generous without being overwhelming. The wine ends with bright fruit flavors and a long finish and can be paired with red meat or game dishes.

Ripe berry fruit, cherry and blackberry are backed by exotic spice and generous vanilla essence to create the backbone of this compelling Brunello. There’s nice complexity here with distant, playful notes of dried blue flower, rose bud and natural rubber that work well together. In the mouth, the wine has a solid, gritty texture and vibrant fruit flavors.

This delivers ripe aromas of cherry, white peppercorn, blueberry and almost perfect renditions of fresh raspberry. It doesn’t have huge complexity or depth but it does have very good integrity of fruit, which is evident in its juicy character and cherry finish.

Offers an attractive and smoky bouquet, which might indicate that it has the fullness and depth to run long. However, it’s fairly compact and juicy on the palate, with cherry, berry and vanilla in control. On the money, if a bit tannic. Ageworthy, too. Imported by Remy Cointreau.

Although this wine is executed in a light and informal style, it shows excellent integrity of fresh berries and a playful, youthful approach that will appeal to those looking for an everyday dinner wine. Well-dosed notes of spice, chocolate and tobacco fill in the background.
