Poggio di Sotto – Rosso di Montalcino – 2021
A respectable calling card enough to make the God Bacchus himself jealous, Poggio di Sotto’s Rosso di Montalcino is defined as a miniature Brunello with regard to its refined austerity. The combination of 30-year-old plots located between 200 and 400 meters above sea level planted with the Sangiovese Grosso clone, a soil rich in clay and skeleton where work in the vineyard is nothing short of maniacal allow this astounding result to be achieved. Fermentations take place in 70 Hl truncated wooden vats with the help of indigenous yeasts and daily pumping over, subsequent aging for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels. A complex but at the same time delicate, intriguing and harmonious wine to win anyone over at the first sip.Elio Grasso – Barolo Gavarini Chiniera produced in the highest part of the Ginestra cru in Monforte d’Alba, vinified for 24/30 months in 25-hectoliter barrels.

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.
