Poggio di Sotto, Brunello di Montalcino, 2010

Floral dark violet nose with equally alluring but bright flavours on the palate. Silky and ripe but composed, long haunting flavours of small red and black berries, touches of cherry, crushed strawberry and sloe. Ravishingly beautiful, a class act. From one of the region’s most iconic estates on the south east side of Montalcino where the altitude ranges from 200-400 metres above sea level, the Poggio di Sotto Brunello is produced organically and traditionally, aged for four years in large slavonian wooden casks

Poggio di Sotto

History

Founded in 1989 by Tuscan legend Piero Palmucci, Poggio di Sotto has swiftly become a benchmark, traditional Brunello estate, producing some of the most refined and sought-after wines in the region. In 2011, Poggio di Sotto became part of the Collemassari Wine Estates. Their 10 hectares of vineyards are all planted with low-yielding Sangiovese Grosso clones in the sunny Castelnuovo del Abate region on the south east side of Montalcino. With protection from Monte Amiata, The vineyards are situated at three different levels between 250 and 400 metres above sea level and the viticulture is organic.

Well exposed vineyards tempered by cooling breezes, high quality clones and gentle winemaking, make for some of the most ethereal and seductive wines in Tuscany. Piero Palmucci sold the estate in 2012 to Claudio Tipa, owner of great Bolgheri estate Grattamacco. Claudio has kept the same team in place and has made good on his commitment to changing nothing in production or winemaking. The future of this great Tuscan estate is secured.

Production

The wine is fermented gently with extended maceration and frequent pumping over, and then aged for a minimum of three and a half years in large used Slavonian oak casks. The estate’s entire production amounts to 3,000 cases, including the Rosso.
