Piantonaia 2018 Podere Poggio Scalette

Professional reviews

Vinous (95)

The 2018 Piantonaia, 100% Merlot, is deep, fleshy and super-expressive. Inky dark fruit, spice, licorice and mocha all meld together in the glass. The 2018 is deep, fleshy and wonderfully expressive from start to finish.

BOW (8.50)

Falstaff (95)

Dark, almost impenetrable garnet. Medium expression on the nose, light mint, blackberry, forest fruit. Dense on the palate with plenty of pressure, shows plenty of tension, hearty and lively, first signs of great harmony, still has a long life ahead of it.

Winespectator (94)

Ripe aromas and flavors of plum, black cherry, loamy earth, eucalyptus and iron are aligned with a supple texture and well-integrated structure. Intense yet refined, with a long aftertaste of fruit, earth and iron. Merlot.

James Suckling (93)

Black-olive, bark and blue-fruit aromas follow through to a full body with round yet tight tannins. Bright acidity and a light balsamic touch to the aftertaste. Merlot.
