The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli from Le Gode comes from one of the most celebrated single-vineyard sites in Montalcino. "A true Grand Cru of the region, with its own unique soils of rock, mineral-rich marls, loam, quartz, shale and limestone", according to Vinous' Eric Guido; the treasures of Montosoli are the crème de la crème of Montalcino, often with Grand Cru prices to boot.
One producer whose wines remain commendably affordable whilst still transmitting the lofty heights of this hallowed terroir directly onto the palate is superstar Le Gode. Their minimal intervention methodology contributes to the pure expression of Sangiovese from this iconic terroir and delivers a resulting freshness that lends structure and finesse.
What the critics say:
"Dried red cherries and plums, followed by subtle rosemary and dried-meat notes. Medium-bodied with chewy and juicy tannins. Delightful freshness gives an edge to the wine. A slightly toasty aftertaste. Savory yet harmonious. Solid and beautiful Montosoli. Needs three to four years to show its true potential. Best after 2026."
"Remarkably pretty and lively in the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli exudes the energy and radiance of the 2019 vintage. Dried roses, incense, spiced blood orange and cloves can all be found as this opens in the glass. It's silky and serene with a wave of ripe red berry fruits that gain tension through a core of orange and savory spice. The 2019 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration and a layer of finely etched tannins, finishing pleasantly chewy and long as hints of licorice fade under a veil of violet inner florals. This is painfully youthful today yet packed full of potential."
