Established by Piero Palmucci in 1989, Poggio di Sotto quickly became one of Montalcino’s cult wines. Piero’s search for the perfect location was meticulous and he spent several years researching the regions soil types and climates to best suit Montalcino’s Sangiovese Grosso. Despite a change at the helm in 2011, Poggio di Sotto wines continue to be amongst Italy’s, and the world’s, finest.
The bouquet is a stunning mix of savoury cherry sauce, sage, seared meat, cinnamon, moist earth, and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, its textures are like the purest silk being slowly drawn across the senses in a seamless expression of dark red fruits, sweet spice and inner florals. Nothing is out of place here, showing incredible balance and poise, while remaining tightly wound up in it’s youthful state. The finish seems to go on and on, displaying pretty red fruits and floral tones over a core of salty minerals and rock-solid tannin.
