Genuine and refined in the primary profile showing notes of rose petals, grapefruit, mandarin juice and guaranà. A lot of linden describes the secondary scene. Medium to full bodied, perfectly matured tannins, biting and lively at the moment and a finale which lengthens in progression from the central palate onwards. Better from 2025. The savoury closure really gives something extra to the product.

The nose recalls an October day, as an autumnal earthiness mingles with the density of dark chocolate and the spice of anise, and the last of the summer's stone fruit. On the palate, the chocolate grows sweeter as Halloween approaches, but earthy, bitter notes persist through the astringent, chalky, tannic finish.

Generous and ripe aromas of pressed purple flowers, baked strawberries, blue fruit, sweet herbs, and fresh forest floor jump from the glass of the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino La Mannella. Full-bodied, its ample fruit is evenly balanced through the palate, with ripe tannins and a fresh mineral texture. It offers notes of fresh leather, ripe cherry, cedar, and warming spices throughout, with its perfume lasting long after the wine is gone. It is a lovely wine to drink over the next 10-15 years.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The Cortonesi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino La Mannella is similar to the Poggiarelli in terms of brightness and fruit wealth, yet this wine is perhaps more savory, spicy and accessible. It offers a velvety, medium to full-bodied texture with lingering tones of campfire ash and leather. The differences between the two wines are not that big, but this is marked in that one respect. This is also a much larger production of 25,000 bottles.
