Description
History
The Poggio di Sotto estate was born in 1989 and is located on a hilly area southeast of Montalcino. Since its inception, the name of the structure has established itself on the markets for the great quality with which Sangiovese is grown, quickly achieving great critical acclaim for its wines.
Grapes used
Sangiovese 100%
Production method
The vineyards from which the grapes with which this wine is produced come are located at various altitudes: 200, 300 and 450 m above sea level. The grapes are harvested manually with careful selection of the bunches. Fermentation takes place in wooden barrels thanks to indigenous yeasts. The aging takes place in oak barrels of about 30 l for a period of 24 months, with a further rest in the bottle for another 6 months. The wine is not filtered before bottling.

Tasting notes
At sight the wine is brick red in colour, with brilliant notes. On the nose notes of ripe coffee, roasting and licorice spices, with notes of delicate ripe red fruit of blackcurrant and raspberry, aromatic herbs, cedar and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is robust, enveloping and delicate, with a great structure, silky but always lively tannins and a fresh and surprising acidity.
Possible combinations
Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino represents the simplest line produced by the estate, but in reality it reveals a great character and depth on the sip, so much so that it is comparable to other brunellos of the appellation. Thanks to these characteristics, the wine is perfect if conceived as a meditation wine or to be combined with structured red meat or game dishes.
