Description

Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino DOC

This 'Baby Brunello' is one of the best expressions of Sangiovese. Thanks to the unique terroir of Poggio di Sotto, this beautiful Rosso can certainly rival any full-fledged Brunello from some of the best Estates in the appellation.

Brick red colour. Bold aromas of wild raspberry and cassis create a primary fruit intensity, assisted with notes of dried berries and herbs. The palate has an attractive concentration of cherry fruit and touches of spice. Complex and deep with an earthy, floral character. It's silky texture is balanced with fresh notes and a long, distinguished finish.

As a vintage, 2014 caused a few flutters for growers because of its cool and humid nature. Only a single cask of Brunello was produced in 2014 due to the rather demanding climatic conditions and resulting smaller harvest (3–3.5 tons per hectare). The grapes were subsequently declassified and crafted with painstaking attention to detail into an exceptional Rosso di Montalcino. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 2 years in 30 hl Slavonian oak casks with an additional 6 months in bottle.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
