La Poderina is located just south of Montalcino in the Castelnuovo dell’Abate township, which is renowned for rich, elegant and balanced fruit. It is the area where power players Ciacci Piccolomini and Uccelliera are also located, and where we visited in 2009. La Poderina is owned by the same quality-driven folks who own Fattoria del Cerro. At La Poderina, 25 acres are dedicated to the cultivation of the Sangiovese Grosso for the production of this Brunello and 11 acres are designated for Rosso di Montalcino. Their vineyards have yields well below the 32 ql/acre dictated by the appellation’s regulations. The winemaker is the renowned Riccardo Cotarella who ages the wines in both French barriques and larger botti, giving the final wines restrained oak notes that still showcase unique characteristics of this region’s Sangiovese.

Showing a velvety dark and enriched appearance, the La Poderina 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is packed tight with dark fruits, baked blackberry and sweet tobacco. The bouquet delivers a lot of intensity. Indeed, the wine is rather streamlined in terms of texture, with medium length that is pushed along nicely thanks to the natural freshness of the Sangiovese grape. That acidity is key in a wine such as this; it carries a little extra concentration and oak spice. Production is just south of 56,000 bottles.

Dark red/magenta-hued, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is deep with aromas of kirsch, cedar, polished leather, and toasted sage. Full-bodied and approachable, it's warming with ripe, plush tannins and retains very good freshness that holds it together. It's a very successful vintage for this wine, which should drink well over the coming 10-12 years.
