Vinous (92)- "The 2020 Montecucco Sangiovese 8Ettari is fruit-forward, with a burst of crushed blackberries and cherries, a whiff of dark chocolate and autumnal spice. It is sleek, with silken textures and ripe red and blue fruit that envelop the senses, all offset by a core of vibrant acidity. A twang of citrus adds lift as nuanced tannins and hints of licorice fade."
The Wine Enthusiast (91)- "The nose has a savory, slightly tangy feel, thanks to aromas of sea-weed, salt, coffee, tahini, and black plum. On the palate, blackberries blow wind into the sails of the plum element, above a strong foundation built by the nutty, salty, rich umami of the nose. Confident and a little off-beat, like an unexpectedly good cover band."
James Suckling (90)- "This has savory tart cherries, dried herbs and hints of cocoa and wet soil on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is lively and agile, with spiced, well-integrated tannins and energetic, juicy fruit in the middle. Nothing too complex, but bright, brisk and very attractive to drink."
