Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Made with certified-organic fruit, the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is an impossibly graceful wine from a challenging vintage. This bottle defies the odds—and the dry heat of the growing season—to reveal soft layers of cherry, cassis and more vibrant fruit. It glides clear over the palate with silky momentum, and you only notice the tannins at the very end. Even those should soften and integrate as this collectible wine continues it bottle evolution.

• Wine Spectator: Cherries and orange peel with cedar and pine undertones. It’s full yet fresh and lightly chewy with some citrus at the end. Shows tension and firmness for the vintage with a pretty form and purity. From organically grown grapes.

Producer Information

Poggio di Sotto is a wine producer based in the Tuscan region of Montalcino, famous for its Brunello di Montalcino wines. It was founded in 1989, and its 16 hectares (40 acres) of steep, hillside vineyards are planted entirely to Sangiovese.The vineyards range between 200-400m (650-1300ft) above sea level on the Montalcino hillsides. The rocky soils here are characterized by gravel and clay in the lower parcels and sandy clay in the upper levels – an excellent terroir for Sangiovese – “Brunello” as it is known in the region.Poggio di Sotto produces three Sangiovese-based wines: a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva, a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and a Rosso di Montalcino DOC.Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and is followed by a prolonged period of maceration. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks for up to five years (depending on the wine).
