Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”17827″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Fattoria Poggio di Sotto was founded in 1989 on the Southeast side of Montalcino, just outside of Castelnuovo dell\u2019Abate.<\/p>\n
The estate extends over 44 hectares, 16 of which are vineyards register to produce Brunello di Montalcino and 4 hectares for olive groves.<\/p>\n
The grapes enjoy there a unique microclimate influenced by the Orcia River, the Monte Amiata Volcano, and the Mediterranean Sea. Extremely low yields, organic farming and spontaneous, natural fermentation create wines of extraordinary character and elegance.<\/p>\n
The estate has been sold in 2011 to the owner of Grattamacco in Bolgheri and Castello di ColleMassari.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\u201cPoggio di Sotto hits it out the ballpark once again with an extremely elegant interpretation that shows the incredible depth and nuance Sangiovese can achieve, even in an uneven vintage such as this. The certified organic 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark ruby hue and mid-weight concentration. Indeed, the wine is lighter and brighter than most, despite Brunello’s mandatory five years of aging before its commercial release. The tannins are silky and melt over the palate. Along the way, the wine offers high notes of red cherry, cassis and blue flower. This 38,000-bottle release carries a very high price tag, but your high expectations will be met. Drink: 2025-2045.<\/em>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Wine Advocate, 96+ Points<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “<\/em><\/strong>The nose is metallic, earthy and stony, with cherry undertones providing levity. Cherries take a star turn on the palate, with strawberries and raspberries playing crucial supporting roles, while a tension between astringent orange and creamy mocha emerges on the lengthy finish. Robust tannins and fiery acidity prove ageworthiness. Drink 2028\u201333 or beyond.” <\/em>– Wine Enthusiast,<\/em><\/strong> 95 points\/’#1 Top Cellar Selection 2023<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “<\/em><\/strong>Beautifully detailed, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino delivers pure layers of ripe cherry, raspberry, incense, stony earth, roses, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied and silky in texture, with ultra-fine tannins, it has a gorgeous energy without edges, with a long arch of ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, herbes de Provence, wet stone, and fresh rose petal. It is incredibly long on the palate, and it almost feels as if the wine never ends. This will be a stunning wine to drink 2026-2046.”<\/em> – Jeb Dunnuck, 96 Points<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
