2017 is the classic vintage that is structured to age perfectly, drinkable now as it doesn't have ripping tannins, but will only improve with 20-40 years in bottle

Poggio di Sotto doesn't mess around; they make 3 (THREE) wines, total, all from Montalcino: Rosso, Brunello and Brunello Riserva.

Poggio di Sotto

Piero Palmucci founded the estate in 1989 just outside of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, which is in the southern part of the region. While so many vignerons and estate owners try to accomplish their dreams by planting a myriad of clones, varietals and really just throwing the Spaghett' at the wall and seeing what sticks, Piero performed a study along with the nearby University to identify the perfect Sangiovese clone for his estate. The entirety of his estate is this one, single grape.

The vines are located within three different plots on varying altitudes of the high hills (200-450m altitude) overlooking the valley of the Orcia River. Here you find the classic seashell-encrusted soils so similar to much of Burgundy, and it contributes to the otherworldly lift and elegance of the wines. Unlike many other estates throughout Tuscany, the Rosso here is the same clone (Sangiovese Grosso) as is used in the big boy, the Brunello. That means the only difference between the three wines is the length of time spent within oak - all of which is Slavonian "botti".

The 2017 Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino will need some time to fully open up. The nose is reticent, requiring quite a bit of coaxing, before a bouquet of fresh sweet strawberry, cherry, Tuscan spice box, dusty florals and hints of mint lift from the glass. On the palate, soft textures flood the senses, offset by tart red fruits, minerals and spice, as the 2018 seems to hover - well poised, almost weightless, yet still fully satisfying. The finish is long and very pretty, as fresh red fruits resonate above a tactile mix of acid, minerals and light tannin, giving way to a singular red floral note that seems to go on for minutes.
