| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 32 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Ikel73 on 8/25/2023 & rated 90 points: Nice wine. Still pretty tight and tanic. Could probably use another year or two resting (783 views) | | | Tasted by Greyowl72 on 7/14/2023 & rated 89 points: Garnet color with some onion skin edge. 4 hour decant. Aroma of almond and berries. On the palate, the longer decant has helped to really soften the tannins. Otherwise the palate is raspberry and blackberry. More acidity than what I would expect.
Not complicated. Pretty good food wine. Definitely would benefit from another year or 2 in the cellar. (760 views) | | | Tasted by LingonTuvan on 4/10/2023 & rated 89 points: Closed and tannic in the beginning, but opened up somewhat after some hrs. Need a few more years rest, I think. (1054 views) | | | Tasted by matt.gordon5000 on 3/1/2023 & rated 90 points: Still too early to really enjoy at it's fullest. A bit closed. After hour 3 and a meal it started to soften. Give 2 years more at least (1084 views) | | | Tasted by Dinamarca on 2/25/2023 & rated 93 points: Drikker rigtig fint nu. (1119 views) | | | Tasted by StefanVB on 12/5/2022: Brunello di Montalcino "Reserve" by Poggio Salvi di Montalcino is a more structured wine than Brunello di Montalcino "Annata", resulting from a deep research work. Ten months of more aging in oak barrels give this wine even more balance, developing (903 views) | | | Tasted by IvanLi on 9/22/2022 & rated 93 points: This wine clearly exceeded my expectations. It delivers an expressive nose of spices, smoke, oak, dark red fruits, cocoa as well as balsamic. On the palate it is a bit dry, with slightly coarse tannins, good structure and succulent red fruited mid palate.
Ready to drink, but quite fat from its peak. (1095 views) | | | Tasted by mrkurtz on 11/5/2021: Brief whiff of barnyard, but then really nice cherry and red fruit. Surprisingly light weight on the palate and high toned acidity. Fine tannins. (1692 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 6/28/2021 & rated 89 points: Dark fruits, some oak, sweet cherries. Feels well made and modern in style. Might have opened this one a bit too early. Medium+ bodied, good acidity, feels almost clinical. (2123 views) | | | Tasted by Ikel73 on 6/24/2021 & rated 91 points: Nice wine. Cherries, pepper, ceder. Easy to drink. Will wait a year or two for next bottle. (1936 views) | | | Tasted by DrZett on 6/22/2021 & rated 89 points: Medium to dark ruby colored. Dark berries and peppery notes in the nose. On the palate lots of dark cherries, cranberries and some dark cherries. Medium bodied with a medium- acidity. Lacking a little bit in structure and complexity. Nicely balanced overall mouth feeling. Finish is juicy and medium long.
A little young in the moment, wait another 3-4 years before popping a bottle of this Brunello, it will definitely benefit from a few more aging. (IG) (1984 views) | | | Tasted by mckillop on 2/2/2021 & rated 90 points: Straight ahead Brunello. Classic character and medium body. Needed 30-60 minutes in the glass to really open up. (2742 views) | | | Tasted by Cove Haven on 1/13/2021 & rated 89 points: The body is medium. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Still very closed after an hour
I think my rating will improve will try again in 2 years (1945 views) | | | Tasted by BoozNooz on 8/12/2020 & rated 92 points: Delicious. Maybe not as challenging/interesting as
some other Brunellos but we drank this pretty quickly which is always a good sign (2517 views) | | | Tasted by Dinamarca on 6/27/2020 & rated 92 points: Flot årgang. Drikker fint allerede. Næppe den mest komplekse Brunello, men en fin og ligetil repræsentant fra området. (2657 views) | | | Tasted by Birdmountain wine on 5/20/2020 & rated 89 points: All Brunello Classics are into place, but no surprice here. Long finish but no surprices (2103 views) | | | Tasted by BigGDaddy on 5/20/2020: For an entry-level Brunello this bottle delivers quality at a fraction of the price of much more well-known and celebrated wine makers from Montalcino. This is why beautiful vintages like 2015 can create spectacular values. I enjoyed this next to a bottle that was 3x the cost, and frankly, while it was not as good...it wasn't 3x as bad. I recommend this 2015 and give it a 91. (2861 views) | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 2/21/2020: 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, new releases (Montalcino centro): Benvenuto Brunello 2020, Montalcino
Dust, ripe cherry, some forest floor. The palate is traditional-leaning, with good but not great acidity. The finish is medium, the flavor depth is medium. Good, not great. Drink 2021-2031. recommended

https://www.ItalianWine.blog (4963 views) | | | Tasted by oldwines on 1/27/2020 & rated 92 points: Tasted at Benvenuto Brunello NYC. Clean fresh, floral and cherry. If not for a rather distracting flavor/scent I could not quite identify with everything going on at the event, I would have rated this perhaps as high as 94. To be fair this was one of the last wines I tasted and I may have been rather palate fatigued. So, I liked this and it rightfully deserves another look at some point.

| Villa Poggio Salvi Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
