Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, December 2017
Seductive elegant floral notes on the note, classic red fruits particularly cherry and strawberry with underlying hints of mocha and dark chocolate on the rich palate. The is a wine of unbelievable depth and precision that belies its status as just a Rosso di Montalcino. The finish is long and distinguished, the hallmarks of any great Poggio di Sotto release. Simply delicious.

Julia Harding, December 2017,
Score: 17Declassified Brunello. Sweet fruited and really spicy. Cherry and just a touch of dried fruits. Sweet with a touch of vanilla on the palate. Wonderful balance and deeply satisfying, rounded and firm, in a difficult vintage...

Producer
Poggio di Sotto

Perched high above the vineyards encircling Castelnuovo dell'Abate lies the Montalcino estate ofPoggio di Sotto. An idyllic Mediterranean paradise surrounded by rosemary, lavender andsunbathing lizards, the estate is composed of 35 hectares in total, 12 of which are planted with the finest Brunello (Sangiovese) clones.Visiting the charming, philosophical and enthusiastic owner, Piero Palmucci, is like engaging inconversation with Pablo Neruda. With a twinkle in his eye, a mischievous smile and unparalleledcalmness, he speaks passionately and eloquently about his wines and his insights.Like many great estates, his individuality is reflected in his thought-provoking wines. Burgundianin style, Palmucci's creations are beautiful expressions of Brunello di Montalcino - perfumed,luxuriously silky, refined and complex - which linger copiously on the palate. If his wines couldcompose, they would be Debussy.
Region
Montalcino
Located southwest of Chianti, Montalcino came into its own in the late 1880s when local producer,Biondi-Santi, discovered a Sangiovese clone in his vineyard that was darker in colour than the rest. Its colour, however, was not its only attribute. It produced a wine with notable body, structure and length. He named it ‘brunello' meaning little dark one. This grape's genetic properties along with Montalcino's relatively temperate climate combine to create a wine stylistically different to that of more northerly Chianti. They are usually released approximately 5 years after the vintage following 2 to 4 years ageing in wood. The denomination of Riserva indicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvéeand requires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.Today, Montalcino has become one of the most sought after appellations in the Tuscan region.
