Rubio, Poggio San Polo 2020 (750 ml)

90 poena - James Suckling

Rubio 2020 iz vinarije San Polo predstavlja živopisan, moderan izraz sorte Sangiovese uzgojene na visokim padinama imanja u Montalćinu. Topla berba donosi punoću i zrelu voćnost, dok precizan rad u vinogradu obezbjeđuje svježinu, ravnotežu i čist, uglađen profil.

Na nosu se otvaraju arome crvene trešnje, maline i narа, uz nijanse ljubičice, slatkih začina i suptilne zemljane note tipične za Sangiovese. Na nepcu je vino srednjeg tijela i puno energije, sa izraženim ukusima crvenog voća, finim taninima i osvježavajućom kisjelinom koja daje živost i jasnoću. Blagi tonovi vanile i kedra od odležavanja u hrastu dodaju zaobljenost, bez prekrivanja voća. Završetak je gladak, živahan i prijatno postojan.

Rubio 2020 je izuzetno svestrano vino uz hranu — idealno uz pastu sa paradajzom ili raguom, grilovano ili pečeno bijelo meso, picu sa suhomesnatim proizvodima, kao i laganija jela od govedine ili teletine.

90 points - James Suckling

Rubio 2020 from San Polo is a vibrant, modern expression of Sangiovese grown on the estate’s high-altitude slopes in Montalcino. The warm vintage brings generosity and ripe fruit, while San Polo’s precise vineyard work ensures freshness, balance, and a clean, polished profile.

The nose opens with bright red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, layered with hints of violet, sweet spice, and a subtle earthy note typical of Sangiovese. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and energetic, with juicy red-fruit character, fine tannins, and a refreshing line of acidity that gives lift and definition. Gentle touches of vanilla and cedar from oak aging add roundness without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is smooth, lively, and pleasantly persistent.

Rubio 2020 is an exceptionally versatile wine at the table — ideal with pasta dishes featuring tomato or ragu, grilled or roasted white meats, pizza with cured meats, as well as lighter preparations of beef or veal.
