Podere Le Ripi Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia 2020

92+ points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A rich ruby color, the 2020 Rosso Di Montalcino Sogni E Follia has all the personality you come to expect from this estate, with a savory, rustic edge intertwining with ripe fruit of wild mixed berries, saddle leather, and wild Mediterranean herbs. Medium to full-bodied, it saturates the palate and has an impressively long finish and a sunny feel while retaining good purity. A pretty darn serious Rosso, it offers a great lens into what this estate is all about and what you can expect from their top bottlings. It is also not lacking in structure and has a good deal of ripe tannins to hold it all together. I would probably even blind this and call it Brunello. Bravo. Drink 2024-2034. (2/28/24)"

91 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$40 list] With fruit from Galampio in the far western part of the appellation, the Podere le Ripi 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia comes from limestone-based soils with silt and sand. This 20,000-bottle release spends two years in large oak casks. It shows dark concentration with lifted aromas of dried raspberry, cocktail cherry, dried garden herb and cinnamon. It is an unusual wine but charming nevertheless. Drink: 2024-2028. (11/21/24)"

91 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia is wild and exotic, with a seductive blend of rose petals, cinnamon sticks and mentholated cherries forming its bouquet. This balances silky textures with vividly ripe wild berry fruits, zesty orange and juicy acidity in a way that I find wildly attractive. The 2020 leaves a coating of gently grippy tannins yet keeps the energy high, finishing with medium length as violet inner florals slowly fade. Drink: 2024-2027. (Dec 2023)"

90 points Falstaff: "Deep dark, ruby. On the nose , high volatility, and dirty, earthy, overripe cherry fruit. On the palate, balsamic tones, and wild, drying tannins. Finishes harsh and loosely knit. (3/22/24)"
