MICHAEL GODEL FROM CANADA SENDS US 11 EXCELLENT SCORES
BRUNELLO, ROSSO DI MONTALCINO AND ORCIA DOC IN THE LEONE ROSSO AND CENERENTOLA VERSION ON WINE ALIGN THE PORTAL BY CANADIAN SUPER TASTERS
Michael Godel with Donatella Cinelli Colombini’s staff
Michael Godel is among the foreign wine critics who know Montalcino best. He often participates in Benvenuto Brunello and the Tuscan wine previews and has visited hundreds of wineries in this area. He loves Sangiovese but also greatly appreciates the Foglia Tonda variety for its acidic richness which makes the wines long-lived and fresh.
Our importer in Ontario, Bernard Stramwasser Les Sommelier sent us 11 sheets and 11 scores from Michael Godel on Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, Leone Rosso Doc Orcia and 6 vintages of Cenerentola (based on Sangiovese and Foglia Tonda) from 2021 to 2001. They are published on Wine Align, the portal of the major Canadian wine experts.
BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG 2020 SCORE 93/100
Godel appreciated this wine and the respectful way in which it was vinified and matured, allowing the vintage to express itself without intervening in the cellar. The result is a good richness of extracts and a natural balance.
