95+ Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: "From one of the most traditional production areas of the entire appellation, a Brunello of elegance and thickness. Notes of black cherry on the nose, hints of marjoram, with nuances of rose and hints of rhubarb. Excellent sapidity on the palate, with reminders of citrus and black cherry sensations. Persistent." 10/23

"The 2019 Tiezzi Vigna Poggio Cerrino is glossier and more refined than the Vigna Soccorso, offering aromas of iris, lavender, wild berry and a whiff of new leather. Linear and polished, the savory palate features juicy Morello cherry, strawberry compote, star anise and crushed mint alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and lifted." 11/23 - 93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, www.kerinokeefe.com:

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Poggio Cerrino grumbles up from the glass with an earthy bouquet that blends crushed rocks with savory herbs, olive and clove. This displays textures of pure silk offset by cooling acidity as ripe red and black fruit slowly saturate. A bitter dark chocolate tinge develops through the close as the 2019 finishes youthfully tense and structured with fine tannins that frame the experience nicely."-Eric Guido
