The 2008 Brunello from Poggio di Sotto is a beautifully chiseled and aromatically soaring expression, capturing the estate’s signature refinement in a cooler, classically styled vintage. The bouquet opens with lifted notes of red cherry, rose petal, pomegranate, dried herbs, and hints of citrus peel, framed by delicate touches of tobacco and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is taut, energetic, and exquisitely layered, with bright acidity and fine, silk-edged tannins that give the wine its trademark verticality. Flavors of vibrant red fruit, savory herbs, saline minerality, and a gentle balsamic nuance unfold through a long, linear, and deeply resonant finish. Now entering a beautiful phase of early maturity, the 2008 shows Poggio di Sotto’s hallmark purity and precision, offering elegance and depth without ever sacrificing tension or clarity.

Poggio di Sotto is one of Montalcino’s most revered estates, renowned for its uncompromising commitment to traditional winemaking and the extraordinary finesse of its Sangiovese. Located in Castelnuovo dell’Abate on the southeastern slopes, the estate benefits from high elevations, constant breezes, and soils composed of galestro, limestone, and river stones—conditions that give its wines remarkable aromatic lift and structural precision. Poggio di Sotto is celebrated for extremely rigorous fruit selection, long fermentations, and aging exclusively in large Slavonian oak, producing wines that favor purity, elegance, and a near-Burgundian sense of texture. The resulting Brunelli are among the most detailed, age-worthy, and sought-after in all of Tuscany, consistently reflecting the estate’s philosophy of tension, transparency, and soulful depth.
