We can spend many words however this Brunello deserves to be experienced first hand and for once without sharing it, the notes are between balsamic and red fruit amalgamated by multiple floral hints in disarming balance, on the palate it is supersonic in which the extractive richness is perceived, mighty structure with straight and silky tannins that increase a mineral and overall heavenly sensation from the duration of many years.

Description
Among the innumerable and enchanting excellences of Tuscany, Montalcino will forever remain one of the must-visit destinations for lovers of good wine, a temple of Brunello made great over the years by unique figures and wineries. The Poggio di Sotto estate is located 400 meters above sea level on the southeastern slope of Mount Amiata, its birth dates back to 1989 near Castelnuovo Abate, an all-too-recent but intentional reality thanks to Piero Palmucci’s true love for wine. His work has given us one of the most important classics for Brunello di Montalcino, his wines have been from the beginning a surprise considered internationally simply perfect, embodying the soul of the territory, those wines that as soon as you drink them you are moved by the continuous emotions that assail you! One word to describe the philosophy of this intrepid man: Terroir. The grape that plays the starring role is Sangiovese, cultivated naturally following organic principles where yields never exceed 50 quintals per hectare, the vineyards located at different altitudes between 200 and 400 meters on soils rich in marl allow for the acquisition of complexity and sensational detail. In the winery, a traditional style is preferred, using wooden vats for macerations that continue over a long period and aging in large oak barrels with the sole objective of obtaining an elegant, refined and understated nectar. Since 2011, the Poggio di Sotto estate has become part of the ColleMassari group, a unique winery composed of four wineries that boasts 1,500 hectares in Tuscany and is the largest organic winery in Europe. A highly respected stable with high-ranking names of which Poggio di Sotto occupies a position of absolute prominence in the wine scene.
