The Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a vibrant and finely etched expression from a highly promising vintage. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle herbal notes layered with spice and mineral nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins and bright acidity providing lift and precision. Flavors of sour plum, cranberry, and savory earth unfold with clarity and depth. The texture is poised and energetic, emphasizing finesse over weight. The finish is long, fresh, and aromatic—an elegant, age-worthy Brunello with excellent definition and aging potential.
Poggio di Sotto is one of Montalcino’s most revered estates, founded by Piero Palmucci and now part of the ColleMassari group. Located in the cooler southeastern zone, the vineyards benefit from altitude and galestro-rich soils that enhance aromatic finesse and structure. The philosophy remains firmly traditional: organic farming, low yields, long macerations, and extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks. The wines are known for their transparency, tension, and exceptional aging potential. Poggio di Sotto emphasizes elegance and purity over power. In balanced vintages, it produces some of the most refined Brunello in the appellation.
