Product Description
RP93+ "The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Lago (with 5,000 bottles made) sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site located in the northern part of the appellation. Unlike the Poggio al Granchio expression that is aged in new 300-liter French barrique, this wine is instead aged in large 30- and 50-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. In theory, this wine sees less oak-exposed surface area and follows a classic or traditional approach to Tuscan winemaking. Stylistically speaking, this Brunello is sharper and glossier with fragrant tones of wild berry and rose hip. The acidity is more pronounced, giving this wine beautifully contoured edges."

Monical Larner for RobertParker.com writes, "Val di Suga has reintroduced a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, and I have reviewed the first new release of that wine here. This estate did make some 2014 Brunello di Montalcino but in very limited production numbers. It did not make its three single-vineyard expressions Poggio al Granchio, Vigna del Lago and Vigna Spuntali in the 2014 vintage. The 2013 editions of these wines are hitting the market now, and you will find reviews published here." Published: Feb 28, 2019
