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 Poggio di Sotto 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva was reticent when I tasted it, probably owing to a period of awkwardness for such a young sample. The immediate suggestion is to give this bottle more time because, tasted now, it was definitely poured before its prime. The bouquet starts off with austere aromas of oil painting or waxed antiques, but those blow off. After that, you get an exciting compilation of redcurrant, cherry skin, rose petal and floral potpourri. This wine is very sprightly on the palate with fresh berry crush, integrated acidity and fine, chalky tannins. Again, this wine needs more time in bottle.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has blossomed beautifully over the past year, savory and intense, with an enticing bouquet of cedar dust, savory herbs, crushed rocks, underbrush and wild strawberries. It's feminine and cool-toned in feel, with soft textures and a pretty inner sweetness up front as wild berry fruits are guided by juicy acidity and a saline mineral staining forms toward the close. The finish is perfumed and exotic with hints of blood orange and violet inner florals that cascade across with a sensation of liquid stone and a coating of sweet tannins. Majestic and sensual, the 2018 Riserva is perhaps the top wine of the vintage.
