Val di Suga

Val di Sugas Riserva from the top vintage 2010 is characterized by a fresh, clean, fruity nose, a dense, balanced body, soft tannins, a juicy acidity, an elegant finish and, last but not least, an excellent price/performance ratio. SUPERIORE.DE

"A balanced and refined Brunello with dried cherry and strawberry, lemon undertones too. Full body, silky tannins and a fresh clean finish. Drink or hold." James Suckling

Brunello Poggio al Granchio from the same named vineyard smells of sweet cherries, tobacco, flowers and herbs. Multilayered and beautifully textured, this 2010 shows the essence of the great year in its silky, radiant personality and with clear Riserva attributes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shining ruby with a fine garnet shimmer. Intense and appealing nose, smells of ripe plums, raspberries and fine balsamic notes, inviting. Intense fruit on the palate, opening with fine-meshed tannins, soft and supple, very precise. Very long finish." Falstaff

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio is a shapely and powerful wine with a tight approach and a smooth succession of wild berry, spice and cola-like aroma. The wine shows a lot of the balsam herb aromas that are so unique to Sangiovese in the Montalcino appellation. In the mouth, this wine presents tightly-knit tannins that should relax and flesh out with more aging time in the bottle. I would suggest waiting at least three years before popping the cork." Robert Parker

"A firm and tight red with cherry, cedar and light chocolate aromas and flavors. Full and compressed. Dusty tannins. Long and flavorful." James Suckling

"This is austere, with a dense matrix of tannins supporting cherry, tobacco, stone and leather flavors. Stays fresh, featuring a coating of dusty tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Maturing ruby with orange rim. Subdued spice nose. Slumbering concentration. Hints of dried fruit, but really at the beginning of its development. Great balance and tannic tension, but in a reluctant phase, it seems." Jancis Robinson

Fruity fragrance, slim body, structure, volume, elegance and a sparkling clean finish are the hallmarks of the Vigna Spuntali from single vineyard, its terroir and the great vintage 2010. A fantastic drop in the status of a Riserva, which we want to enjoy already today and not only in a few years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, intense ruby garnet. A lush nose with intense notes of plums, pickled cherries, some liquorice and brown nuts in the background. On the palate, a lot of juicy, ripe fruit, brings full pressure, fills the palate well, dense and deep, gripping, firm tannin, spans a wide arch, long finish." Falstaff

"Showing much riper fruit characteristics, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Spuntali offers dark fruit and blackberry backed by spice, leather and tobacco. This is a profound and powerful wine that is released as a Riserva with one extra year of bottle aging after the five years you get with a Brunello annata. The results are sophisticated and deep with many layers of fruit, spice and balsam herb. The wine feels young in the mouth thanks to the tight tannins and bright acidity. These qualities should help it age throughout the years. I like this expression because it delivers loads of fruit and power at the same time." Robert Parker

"Lots of dried cherry and dried spices such as cloves and chili. Full body, silky and polished tannins end with a flavorful finish." James Suckling
