Wine Advocate: „Poggio di Sotto hits it out the ballpark once again with an extremely elegant interpretation that shows the incredible depth and nuance Sangiovese can achieve, even in an uneven vintage such as this. The certified organic 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark ruby hue and mid-weight concentration. Indeed, the wine is lighter and brighter than most, despite Brunello's mandatory five years of aging before its commercial release. The tannins are silky and melt over the palate. Along the way, the wine offers high notes of red cherry, cassis and blue flower. This 38,000-bottle release carries a very high price tag, but your high expectations will be met.“

Falstaff Magazin: „Glänzendes Rubin-Granat. Intensive und einladende Nase, nach reifen Schwarzkirschen, dazu Himbeeren und Erdbeeren, im Hintergrund etwas Tabak. Füllt den Gaumen satt aus, viel frische, ansprechende Frucht, Zwetschgen, Kirsche und Gojibeere, dazu feinmaschiges Tannin, saftig und lange.“

Jancis Robinson: „Lustrous ruby. Savoury and with hints of raw meat and still quite embryonic and reductive. Needs lots of aeration to show gorgeous raspberry hints. On the palate, lush fruit with long, polished, yet chewy, tannins. Perfumed, sweet raspberry fruit follows through the finish. You get all of this, but only if you open the bottle literally hours earlier.“

Vinous: „The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino captivates, opening slowly with an exotic array of sweet spices, cedar shavings, ashen stone, mint and hints of sage. It’s luxuriously soft in texture, silky and refined, with depths of balsamic-tinged cherries accelerated by vibrant acidity and a hint of sour citrus that adds contrast. This finishes with impressive structure for the vintage, still lively yet classically dry, leaving nuances of tart berries offset by a burst of inner sweetness that punctuates quite well. This was a very difficult vintage with a massive amount of rain in August that made vineyard work very difficult, but also extremely important. That said, the team at Poggio did a fantastic job finding balance. Do make sure to give the 2018 a good amount of time, as I followed this for three days, through which it only got better and better.“

James Suckling: „Attractive nose of salted plums, sour cherries, dried roses and rosemary stems. Firm yet sleek with a medium to full body and layers of fresh fruit with delicious herb undertones. Drink or hold.“
