Podere Montale Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG 2020

94 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Wine Enthusiast

This comes from a clutter of vineyards that span 1,800 to 2,400 feet above sea level, with volcanic soils that give off a signature mineral salinity and sharp, clean acidity to each grape grown here. The 2020 Montecucco Sangiovese is a particular standout, earning double 94-point scores from both Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling. Wine Enthusiast described “sturdy tannins that hold their own against acid, which is quiet at first, then roars up.” In other words, this is a sleeping beauty. Once it gets some time in the glass and a little air, it starts to flaunt its true range of aromas and flavors. This is a rising star in Tuscany – mark my words.
