MORE ABOUT THIS LOT:

The tasting at Poggio di Sotto will be with the winemaker and include the following wines: Poggio di Sotto Brunello, Poggio di Sotto Riserva and Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino.

“Sitting in southeastern Montalcino, Poggio di Sotto was the second winery to put down roots in this corner of the region in 1989, and it speedily became a legend—unusual in the generally slow-paced wine world.

It is spectacularly beautiful here, especially at sun sets on Mount Amiata and Orcia River Valley. It’s as if the vines know they are in a special place, delivering finessed wines from terraced, Sangiovese Grosso vineyards surrounded by meticulously manicured olive trees, whose EVOO is every drop as delectable as the wines.

Poggio di Sotto is a Montalcino icon and one of the first Italian wines I suggest that my private clients include in their cellars." Christy Canterbury MW

In Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the most suitable area for the production of Brunello di Montalcino, Poggio di Sotto captures the noblest essence of Sangiovese. The 48-hectare property only counts 20 dedicated to vineyards, which are planted across a variety of terrains that differ with altitude. The vines, grown using organic methods, flourish between 190 and 440 meters in altitude on steep ridges at the foothills of Mount Amiata. The extinct volcano dominates the horizon and acts as a shield against unfavorable weather from the sea.

There is one unanimously chosen variety in the vineyards: Sangiovese, with its over 182 biotypes that grow freely between the rows. Today, this extraordinary ecological niche represents the most distinctive feature of Poggio di Sotto: a botanical archive containing the historical adaptation of Sangiovese, a variety that encloses its own universe of wonder. All the wine produced is classified – in the vineyard – as Brunello di Montalcino. Tasting and careful selection are carried out during the maturation process to identify the lots that will contribute to the creation of Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello, and the Riserva wines.

An exemplary estate that invests extensive effort in vineyard selection to capture the quintessence of Tuscany. A winery that has chosen perfection as its only qualitative horizon, yielding timeless Brunello di Montalcino wines highly acclaimed by international critics.
