The 2006 Rosso di Montalcino is a fat, opulent wine loaded with vibrant super-ripe dark fruit. It coats the palate with terrific depth and luxuriousness and should continue to drink beautifully over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.
I continue to be impressed with the wines of La Poderina, which is located in Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The estate’s Rosso di Montalcino is one of my favorite wines and both the 2006 and 2005 are delicious.
