Seductive nose of wild violets and woodland tart berries. Palate is mixed spice and mystery. Good finish but by far my fav is the nose and palate. Magical.

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A great entry level Brunello that after an hour decant would be great with braised dishes this holiday season and throughout the winter. 90 points.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Worthy and value-priced Brunello right here! This wine boasts major floral cherry, cedar, smoke, and sage aromas. The palate is showing ripe tannins, smooth satiny mouthfeel, high high (yes, high!) acidity, and long mouthwatering flavours of cherry and cedar. Enjoy this full-bodied gem with roast beef. Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Medium garnet in colour. Tart cherry, rhubarb, vanilla musty and dusty, earthy, leather and bay leaves on the nose. Loads of earthy tones here. Tart cherries, black pepper, chocolate, cedar and smoked meat on the palate. Grippy and textured, medium plus body and acidity. Very dry with a long mineral finish reflecting a dark bitter chocolate and sweet wood finish. Dry and delicious. Pair with spicy tomato veal parmigiana and smoked meat sandwiches. 90 points November 2017
From Italy’s Tuscany region, Poggiotondo’s Centolani (2011) Brunello Di Montalcino needs some time in cellar to show its true self. Give it five to show its full potential of its current smoky, spicy, juicy black and red fruit flavours. - Community Wine Reviews
