Rosso di Montalcino 2008 Poggio di Sotto

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

The 2008 Rosso di Montalcino emerges with layers of sweet, perfumed fruit followed by red rapsberries, spices and mint. Silky tannins frame the graceful finish. The 2008 is a relatively lithe vintage for the Rosso, but the balance and overall finesse are beyond reproach. Poggio di Sotto’s Rosso is one of my favorite restaurant wines. It truly is in a class of its own. In 2008 Palmucci gave the Rosso 23 months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.
