Villa Poggio Salvi Brunello di Montalcino Pomona 2013

James Suckling

A dense and delicious Brunello with ripe and round tannins, dark fruit and a full body. Intense and fruity. Layered.

Wine Enthusiast

Underbrush, woodland berry, crushed herb, rose and new leather aromas lift out of the glass. Vibrant and elegant, the linear palate shows sour cherry, strawberry and licorice framed in racy acidity and taut, tightly knit tannins. It's youthfully austere and needs time to come around and fully develop.

John On Wine

Made with 100% Sangiovese, this opens with subdued aromas of underbrush, tilled soil and a balsamic note. The firm palate shows plum, tangerine zest and a hint of star anise alongside firm tannins.

Wine Spectator

This is expressive, offering ripe cherry, strawberry and floral aromas and flavors, with accents of iron, earth and stone. Firmly structured, balanced and long, delivering a lingering note of tobacco.

International Wine Report

The 2013 'Pomona' is a refined and elegant Brunello di Montalcino. It opens to pretty aromatics of red cherries and red plums woven together with spices, licorice, floral and subtle hints of citrus zest all coming together in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied and beautifully structured around fine, silky tannins. It shows wonderful purity and a lovely balance of fruit and acidity. There is a wonderful austere character, along with a lovely fresh character keeping it vibrant through the long, silky finish. Overall, this is a simply gorgeous wine and a classic Brunello di Montalcino, which should age gracefully for many years to come. A sensational effort from Luca Belingardi.
