    San Polo Podernovi (Red) 2019 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Lots of red cherries. A tiny hint of flinty reduction. Pretty floral, herbal menthol. Elegant, crunchy. Tannins have a serious zest and youthfulness to them, lots of red berries. Cool, crisp, vibrant, energetic - crystalline. Lovely concentration and complexity. Really quite a beautiful wine, combines the intensity of Brunello with the youthful charm of a fresh and juicy Sangiovese. Ready to drink, can wait. Rather pretty. Great acidity, nice intensity.
