La Poderina 2008 Vendemmia Tardiva Moscadello (Moscadello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
Light in color and bright in intensity, this luminous late-harvest Moscadello boasts enormous purity of aromas. The wine is also delicate and feminine with tones of yellow rose, vanilla cream and apricot that accent it’s thick, creamy texture. Not cloying or too sweet; would pair well with pâté.

La Poderina 2006 Poggio Banale Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Brunello Poggio Banale is a soft, succulent expression of Sangiovese Grosso with sweet cherry and smooth vanilla aromas. The mouthfeel is plush, rich and creamy but there’s a touch of balanced acidity that brings those lively fruit tones into crystalline focus.

La Poderina 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $59
La Poderina is a beautiful, well-managed estate that playfully straddles both a traditional and modern approach to Brunello. Thick black fruit aromas and tangy spice give the wine a soft and opulent first impression. But the firm tannins and bright acidity remind you of its deep Tuscan roots.

La Poderina 2005 Vendemmia Tardiva Moscadello (Moscadello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
Moscadello grapes are left to dry on the vine and the barrique-fermented wine ages one year on the lees. The result is a delicate, understated dessert wine with admirable harmony and buoyancy. Jasmine, peach, natural rubber, almond blossom, citrus and orange peel best describe this elegant wine.

La Poderina 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $75
Modern, plush and deeply penetrating, La Poderina is a well-crafted wine that shows beautiful aromas of blackberry, spice and cured meat. The wine’s best performance, however, occurs in the mouth where its long, supple finish and smooth texture are extraordinary. This is a great wine to share with friends and family on special occasions.
