Vinous Media: 92 Points

"The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is an immediate standout, with a classic, dusty blend of dried cherries, worn leather and earth tones further complicated by seared meat aromas. It’s polished. Crunchy minerality underscores pure red fruits, all guided by vibrant acidity. This leaves the mouth watering for more as an orange and cranberry crunch lingers. The 2021 is a fantastic, dynamic Rosso that excites me to see what the Brunello of the vintage will bring." Vinous Media, 92 Points

James Suckling: 91 Points

"This has notes of dark plums, cherries, thyme, walnuts and olives. Savory, textured and balanced, with a full body and expansive, creamy tannins. Drink or hold. Screw cap." James Suckling, 91 Points

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

"The Il Poggione 2021 Rosso di Montalcino (with 200,000 bottles made) offers medium fruit weight with dark cherry, wild plum and savory spice. This is a terrific vintage with moderate summer temperatures and a long growing season that agrees very much with Sangiovese, a grape that takes its time to ripen and develop complexity. This Rosso also reveals an especially spicy character with nutmeg and cinnamon that seems to come from the skins of the grape as much as it may come from 12 months in oak." The Wine Advocate, 90 Points

Wine Spectator: 90 Points

"A juicy red, with leather and underbrush accents framing smoky cherry, plum and mineral flavors. Well-structured and long, with a solid grip of tannins on the lingering aftertaste. Offers fine intensity. Drink now through 2027." The Wine Spectator, 90 Points
