The 2018 Morellino di Scansano packs a serious punch. Super-ripe black cherry, chocolate, cloves, menthol, licorice and leather are all amped up here. Flamboyant and full-throttle to the core, the just-bottled 2018 is not subtle, but it sure packs tons of flavor.

Where It's From

Region / Tuscany

View more wines from Tuscany

There are few regions as picturesque as Italy's Tuscany. And there are few regions that produce finer wines, either. Tuscany is home to legendary wine regions Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti, among others, where the red wine grape Sangiovese is king. It's also home to "Super Tuscans," a category of Tuscan wines that don't officially fall within the Italian wine classification system.

Country / Italy

View more wines from Italy

Italy is famous for its powerful, sleek, and elegant reds wines from ancient growing areas with legendary names such as Chianti, Barolo, Barbaresco, Montepulciano. Italian white wines are also gaining popularity: Orvieto, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon are excellent examples of Italian white wines.

Wines of Italy are complex and flavorful, much like the culture that is their source and the cuisine that is their match.

Rich and deep, with base notes of plum and loamy earth offsetting cherry, hibiscus and eucalyptus flavors. Dense, with muscular tannins and lively acidity lending support. The long aftertaste evokes earth and Mediterranean brush. Best from 2026 through 2045. 3,300 cases made, 900 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of medium-soft volume and intensity with dark fruit, ripe cherry, black plum, spice and sweet potting soil. That theme of sweetness continues to the plush, lightly textured palate. The wine is ready to drink in the near or medium term; the tannins are round and ready, and it concludes with bright acidity. This is a release of 40,000 bottles. (Monica Larner)

RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 9th Mar 2023
Le Potazzine delivers solid results thanks to the impressive positioning of its vines that straddle the crown of a high-elevation plain. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows bright fruit with cherry and redcurrant, and that makes all the difference. Careful oak aging has enhanced the aromas. I also feel the effects of careful cellar aging in terms of mouthfeel, especially the structure and tannins. The wine is tightly stitched together with a point of sourness on the close. Give it a few more years to soften. Some 15,500 bottles were made. (Monica Larner)
VN94+94+ pts. - Vinous - Dec 2022
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino takes some coaxing to come together in the glass, dusty yet floral, with crushed ashen stones and a core of plum followed by savory herbs and black currant beneath it all. This is elegance personified, casting velvety textural waves of ripe red and blue berries across the palate, all lifted by brisk acidity, and with a flourish of lavender that lights up the senses. A coating of fine tannins lingers, yet the mouth is left watering for more, as nuances of licorice and blackberry slowly fade. The 2018 is a classy rendition of the vintage, elevated by a slightly higher declassification of juice that went into the Rosso di Montalcino. I’d give it another two to three years of cellaring to come fully together. (Eric Guido)

A lean red, with a mix of earth, Tuscan scrub, cherry, plum and iron flavors aligned to a firm structure, ending with a lightly astringent feel. Best from 2024 through 2035. 1,300 cases made, 320 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino impresses with a rich mix of crushed cherries and plums complemented by hints of clove and dried roses. This is soft-textured and potent, with a sweet-and-sour interplay of tart wild berries and spice enlivened by bright acidity. It tapers off with dusty tannins, yet only lightly structured, leaving hints of salted licorice and red currants to linger. (Eric Guido)

A relaxed nose of ripe black berries and soft, pungent minerals. Full-bodied with the same, pleasant balance of fruit and minerals, underscored by very fine, largely integrated tannins. Long, balanced finish. I like the intensity and balance here. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. (James Suckling)

Really pretty balance and focus to this red with plums, berries, cherries, currants and hints of vanilla and hazelnuts. It’s medium-to full-bodied with refined tannins and a clean, fruity finish. Very elegant. Pure sangiovese. So drinkable now. Why wait? Drink or hold.
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 5th Nov 2020
Tasted from vat, the Fattoria le Pupille 2018 Poggio Valente is an elegant expression of Sangiovese with just a hint of the freewheeling wildness that characterizes the Maremma region of southern Tuscany. The wine delivers cherry, wild rose, forest fruit and blueberry. Beyond those primary tones are integrated notes of spice and mild tobacco. The wine is put together with careful precision, and all it needs now is more aging time in order to flesh out and build depth. Everything is set, just give it time.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2021
Rich and spicy, evoking plum, cherry, sandalwood and cigar box aromas and flavors. Though solidly built, this is also fluid, echoing spice notes on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2033. 1,700 cases made, 400 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

Plum, leather, eucalyptus and earth flavors ply this tense, linear red. It’s on the chewy side, courtesy of dense tannins, yet long and savory. Drink now through 2028. 3,750 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 11th Mar 2021
An easy and accessible single-vineyard expression, the 2018 Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant’Alfonso opens to dried cherry and plum with light spice and tobacco. There is a sweet note on the close that recalls blackberry or cherry confit, and the wine finishes with a soft and round mid-weight style. This is a family-priced Chianti Classico to plunk down on the table next to a big platter of that Italian-American favorite, cheese-filled manicotti. (Monica Larner)
