Description
Still organic red Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Poggio di Sotto. 100% Sangiovese. 1.50L magnum format, 2019 vintage. A Brunello di Montalcino that embodies the excellence of a unique terroir, with limited production and obsessive attention to quality. Harvest, determined through periodic grape sampling to measure sugar and acidity, pH, and polyphenolic content, takes place in September/October. The grapes are hand-picked and placed in perforated crates, sorted directly in the field. Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Fermentation and maceration take place in steel vats and, since 2001, also in oak vats. Maceration lasts approximately 20 days, with periodic pumping over. Delestages are sometimes performed for better color extraction. After racking, the wine ages in stainless steel and oak vats in temperature-controlled environments until December/January. During this period, the wine undergoes a second fermentation: malolactic fermentation. The wine is then transferred to oak barrels ranging in capacity from 25 to 30 hl for approximately four years. Intense and complex, with an ethereal and spicy undertone. Deep ruby red with slightly garnet hues. Robust, tannic, harmonious, balanced, and well-structured.
