Poggio Antico

Jedes Jahr limitiert und zu 100 Prozent aus Trauben der Brunello-Lagen von Poggio Antico, was ein super Preis-Qualitäts-Verhältnis verspricht. Betörender Sangioveseduft von Himbeeren und Veilchen, feinwürzig und intensiv. Im Mund ebenso stark und präsent, gut ausbalanciert mit feinen Holznoten, süffig, dabei elegant, von reifer Frucht geprägtes Finale. (superiore.de)

"A decadent Rosso di Montalcino on the nose, offering up spice box, tobacco and chocolate in addition to ripe, red cherries. Full body, a rich yet polished structure and a long finish. Ripe style but so delicious." James Suckling

Fantastischer Tropfen aus grandiosem Jahr, der den Stil der Kellerei ebenso überzeugend verkörpert wie sein Terroir. Fruchtige Duftnoten mit eleganten würzigen Aromen prägen das eindringliche Bouquet. Eleganz und Fülle im bestens konturierten Geschmack, der allen Komponenten den nötigen Freiraum gewährt.

"Glänzendes, sattes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Eröffnet in der Nase mit Noten nach Sardellen und Rosmarin, dann viel Zwetschke. Saftig in Ansatz und Verlauf, baut sich schön auf, griffiges, zupackendes Tannin, im Finale salzig." Falstaff

"Recht dunkle Farbe für Poggio Antico, leuchtend. Offenes Duftbild, etwas Brotkruste, süssliche Frucht im Hintergrund, noch sehr jugendlich. Satte dichte Frucht, schöne klare Struktur, sehr ausgewogen und elegant, ein typischer Brunello von hochgelegenen Weinbergen, sehr ausdrucksstark und schmelzig. Einer der besten Poggio Antico seit langem, tief, lang und facettenreich." Weinwisser

"Underbrush, red berry, tilled soil, pressed flower and a balsamic note are some of the aromas offered by this radiant red. The bright palate delivers crunchy wild cherry, baking spice and savory herb alongside assertive but refined tannins. It’s well balanced with fresh acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Shows purity to the cherry, raspberry, spice and earth notes, with a well-knit structure supporting the flavors. Smooth, with soft tannins and a long, succulent finish." Wine Spectator

"A beautifully balanced and subtle Brunello with plum, berry, spice and fresh mahogany character. Full to medium body, fine tannins and a long finish. Very intense and harmonious. This is always a beauty." James Suckling

Leuchtendes, sattes Rubin. Verführerische Nase mit ausgeprägten Noten nach reifen roten und dunklen Früchten, viel Kirsche und Zwetschge, dazu feine würzige Noten. Am Gaumen klar und geradlinig, öffnet sich mit viel festem Tannin, zeigt sich sehr geschliffen und spannt einen weiten Bogen. Im Finale saftig und lang. (superiore.de)

"A layered and rich Brunello with chocolate, berry and cherry character. Full-bodied, very velvety and flavorful. Pretty and generous." James Suckling

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite reluctant nose and a surprisingly open-knit palate of dark fruit and supple acidity. Fantastic, crunchy tannins on the finish. Can be approached now, but should be allowed to age." Jancis Robinson

"A fluid style, with pure cherry, raspberry and floral notes emanating from the vibrant structure. Leather, tobacco, spice and mineral details add depth as this unfolds into a long, expansive finish. The tannins are solid and integrated." Wine Spectator

"Paola Gloder's 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is a delightful wine with easy-drinking appeal and lots of energy and personality locked within. This Brunello delivers smooth consistency and dark concentration with a saturated garnet hue. The aromas lift off the bouquet with power and determination. They include black berry, spice, cola, tobacco and mild espresso. The wine shows well integrated fruit tannins with good richness and supple power. Like other wines from this vintage, the mouthfeel is slightly leaner and more compact, but this is nicely compensated by its overall balance and focus." Robert Parker

Ein strahlendes Brombeerbouquet, zu dem sich im Hintergrund ein Hauch von Leder gesellt. Obwohl modern konzipiert, ist dieser Tropfen seiner Heimat doch stark verhaftet und weist der für die Höhenlagen Montalcinos typischen Säure die tragende Rolle in seinem betörend großzügigen Geschmack zu. Ansprechend, geschmeidig und herrlich nachhaltig! (superiore.de)

"Nuancen von roten Beeren, Veilchen und Tabak; kompakter Bau mit gut eingebundenen Tanninen, Saft und perfekt integrierter Säure, finessenreich und mit Lagerpotenzial. Passt hervorragend zu Wildgerichten." Vinum

"A pretty and ripe Brunello with lots of plum and cherry aromas. Full body, soft and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Some dustiness within the texture. Dense and enticing." James Suckling

"Youthful ruby. Deep nose of fruit with hints of oak. Ripe, rich cherry fruit with a zesty, tangy core. Real interest and great tactile finish. Still firmly tannic for the moment." Jancis Robinson

"Here's a richly concentrated expression from one of the highest sites in Montalcino. The wine shows excellent balance and suppleness. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Altero flaunts the best characteristics of the hot vintage including beautifully saturated color intensity, seamless aromas and good texture richness. On that last point, I feel that the mouthfeel has been positively impacted by oak tannins. Dark cherry and dried blackberry are followed by spice, tar, licorice and grilled rosemary or Mediterranean herb. The wine is youthful and tight but should obtain a more polished approach with a few more years of bottle aging." Robert Parker

Eine absolute Spitzen-Riserva aus großem Jahrgang. Dunkles Rubin, in der Nase süßfruchtiges Pflaumenaroma, gefolgt von Vanille, Feige und Schokolade, der Geschmack sehr dicht, konzentriert und fruchtig. Ein Wein von guter Struktur und schöner Balance mit einem bemerkenswerten Abgang. (superiore.de)

"This wine is inviting from the very first sip. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a fine example of excellent winemaking at Poggio Antico. This Brunello opens to pretty layers of forest berry, blanched almond, grilled rosemary, balsam herb and cassis. The style adopted here is elegant and tight, and shows a high level of complexity." Robert Parker

"So much opulence to this on the nose with very ripe and flamboyant black-cherry character and spices. Very floral. Hints of lemon rind. Full body, lots of tightness and polished tannins. Fine-grained. Fresh, long and incredible fruit. Last for minutes. A great wine indeed." James Suckling

"Deep, impenetrable ruby. Compact with hints of oak spicy on the nose. Supple oaked fruit on the palate and really well done and seductive. Quite modernist, yet stylish with great balance and chewy tannins. Wonderful, elegant structure and palate weight." Jancis Robinson
