The 2012 Brunello from Poggio di Sotto captures the harmony, lift, and classical poise of a vintage that favored balance and purity. Aromas of red cherry, rose petal, pomegranate, blood orange, and subtle herbal tones rise with striking clarity, accompanied by touches of spice, tea leaf, and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is sleek, vertical, and finely textured, driven by bright acidity and silky yet structured tannins that create a sense of effortless precision. Layers of vibrant red fruit, savory herbs, saline minerality, and a whisper of balsamic warmth unfold through a long, linear, and resonant finish. Still youthful yet already beautifully expressive, the 2012 is a quintessential Poggio di Sotto—elegant, refined, and destined for graceful evolution over many years.

Poggio di Sotto stands as one of Montalcino’s most admired traditional estates, celebrated for its unparalleled attention to detail and its ability to express Sangiovese with purity, lift, and refined structure. Situated in Castelnuovo dell’Abate on the southeastern slopes, the estate benefits from high altitude, breezy exposures, and soils of galestro, limestone, and river stones—conditions that impart tension, aromatic clarity, and mineral depth. Poggio di Sotto adheres to an uncompromising philosophy: extremely rigorous fruit selection, long and gentle fermentations, and maturation exclusively in large Slavonian oak. This meticulous approach yields Brunelli of exceptional finesse, transparency, and longevity, widely sought after by collectors who prize elegance over power and terroir expression above all.
