Val di Suga

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
