Somm Journal (95 Points):
"Bright, fruity, and possessed of the coveted trio of balance, finesse, and elegance (which we noticed in all the Cortonesi wines we tasted), it also shows freshness derived from startling acidity that links to salty raspberry, cherries, and red tea leaves."

James Suckling (91 Points):
"There is a light touch of balsamic savoriness to the red berry fruit. Fluid on the medium-bodied palate, with a subtle sweet-sour character. Ripe, juicy finish to close. Drink now."

Brunello di Montalcino of Tuscany has been called “The King of Wines” and this “king” is what Cortonesi specializes in. The Cortonesis established La Mannella in the ‘70s, covering 138 acres in one of the most storied areas of the entire region of Montalcino, but only 19 of those acres are dedicated to producing a world-class Brunello. They started commercially selling their wine in 1985. And today, the wines are in the more-than-capable hands of Tommaso Cortonesi, a third-generation winemaker.

The first vintage of Cortonesi’s Brunello came in 1990, which took advantage of the rocky, well-drained soils of the vineyard site, ensuring a long-aging wine. Modern technological advances, too, go a long way in producing outstanding wine.

Part of the Cortonesi portfolio, the Brunello di Montalcino Il Poggiarelli comes from a Grand Cru single vineyard of a little less than 5 acres located on the south-eastern side of Montalcino. This vibrant, powerful wine has a core of minerality that lifts the bright red fruit notes. That special aromatic signature is followed by dark fruit and balsam herb, firm tannins and fresh acidity.
