Val di Suga Description

Tasting Notes

Pedoclimatic variables are interpreted by a modern-style Brunello di Montalcino which regularly manages to keep a “southern”, meaty and sunny nature, with an earthy, wild backbone typical of the sector. It is a “surf and turf” character in some ways, which immediately offers up a nose playing on ripe fruit and undergrowth, balsamic and oriental spicy notes, then revealing a tapered, dynamic taste, gradual and rigorous, with a dense supporting sapidity and a firm linear connection at the same time. It is a thoroughbred Sangiovese, which makes its deliciously smoky tone loud and clear already in its youth, though it is destined to become complete with bottle maturation.

Jeb Dunnuck: 97 Points

Generous with black cherry, a darker mineral earth profile, wet asphalt, and crushed violets. It is full and beautifully pure on the palate, with notes of kirsch, raspberry liqueur, turned soil, and cedar, and is generous with fruit all the way through, with ripe yet fine tannins.

Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points

The savory nose features aromas of hot tar, soil, carpaccio and lead, with a fruit undertone of cherries and plums providing balance. The palate leans into those sweeter, juicier elements, while acid fizzes around polished, yet grippy tannins.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

This elegant, juicy red packs a core of pure cherry shaded by accents of wild herbs, licorice and earth. Charming and harmonious, with the fruit echoing on the lingering aftertaste, revealing a mineral element at the very end.
