11/09/2018 - JANCISROBINSON.COM: 17+/20 FOR BRUNELLO RISERVA 2012 VILLA POGGIO SALVI
Concentrated ruby. Compact nose that is not open yet and with the merest suggestion of Moroccan leather. Youthful fruit that is a little vibrant with crunchy firm tannins. Quite complete and with great balance, but definitely in need of more time.
31/08/2018 - WINE ENTHUSIAST: 93/100 POINTS FOR BRUNELLO POMONA 2013 VILLA POGGIO SALVI
Underbrush, woodland berry, crushed herb, rose and new leather aromas lift out of the glass. Vibrant and elegant, the linear palate shows sour cherry, strawberry and licorice framed in racy acidity and taut, tightly knit tannins. It’s youthfully austere and needs time to come around and fully develop. Drink 2023–2033.
17/07/2018 - WINE SPECTATOR: 92/100 FOR BRUNELLO RISERVA 2012 VILLA POGGIO SALVI
His red offers purity and grace, backed by a sold structure. Strawberry and cherry flavors abound, matched to an elegant frame, with a firm line of tannins underneath. The bright fruit peeks through at the end, delivering equilibrium and a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2037.
27/05/2018 - WINE SPECTATOR: 93/100 POINTS FOR BRUNELLO POMONA 2013 VILLA POGGIO SALVI
This is expressive, offering ripe cherry, strawberry and floral aromas and flavors, with accents of iron, earth and stone. Firmly structured, balanced and long, delivering a lingering note of tobacco. Best from 2021 through 2035.

14/05/2018 - FAKE BRUNELLO VILLA POGGIO SALVI WINE BOTTLES ON THE EUROPEAN MARKET
Given the recurrence of reports of fake bottles found on the European market, with this report we want to make the situation public in order to warn and protect our customers.
The ones we’re referring to are bottles of Brunello di Montalcino Villa Poggio Salvi 2008 Lot L-B222.
The labels have been printed in a lower definition than the original ones, and the cap is anonymous, while all our caps have a stamped company logo (obviously it can be seen only once the bottle has been uncorked, therefore it’s not immediately possible to notice the difference).
The greatest mistake was made with the application of the DOCG label: on the fake bottles, it is placed in vertical (left image), while in all our original bottles it is placed horizontally around the bottle neck (right image).

15/04/2018 - INTERNATIONAL WINE REPORT: 94/95 POINTS FOR BRUNELLO POMONA 2013 VILLA POGGIO SALVI
The 2013 ‘Pomona’ is a refined and elegant Brunello di Montalcino. It opens to pretty aromatics of red cherries and red plums woven together with spices, licorice, floral and subtle hints of citrus zest all coming together in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied and beautifully structured around fine, silky tannins. It shows wonderful purity and a lovely balance of fruit and acidity. There is a wonderful austere character, along with a lovely fresh character keeping it vibrant through the long, silky finish. Overall, this is a simply gorgeous wine and a classic Brunello di Montalcino, which should age gracefully for many years to come. A sensational effort from Luca Belingardi.
