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 2016 shows crushed cherries with autumnal spice; the next, it’s exotic florals and candied orange peels, and at another time flowery undergrowth, white smoke and wild berries. It’s unbelievably soft and pure, lifting the wine through saline-minerals, as sweet notes of cherry and raspberry begin to slowly saturate, yet what they leave behind is youthfully grippy tannins. With how structured the 2016 is today, it’s still enjoyable due to nervous acids and notes of sour citrus, which keep the expression fresh. The 2016 Poggio di Sotto Brunello is really a terrific effort and a classic in the making. Eric Guido - Vinous
