Winemakers Notes

This vintage is the fruit of a quite intense growing year, beginning with a freeze in spring. Although the summer was quite dry, with periods of high temperatures, abundant groundwater reserves prevented the vines from suffering, and they developed normally through to complete phenolic ripeness. Harvest took place in line with the norm, from the second third of September to the first week of October, and the grapes displayed a fine balance of aromas and structure. Maturation too followed a normal pattern, with two years in large oak ovals. The result is a wine with supple, velvety tannins on entrance and a tangy, flavour-rich finish. A firm structure does nothing to diminish its notable elegance, and together they create a wine of distinctive personality and assured longevity, in classic Poggio di Sotto style. Leonardo Berti, Winemaker Luca Marrone, Chief Winemaker

CRITIC ACCLAIM
Pouring a jeweled ruby color, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino offers up more compact aromas of black raspberries, wet stones, violets, and sweet earth. It’s medium-bodied but has good extract and richness in this vintage, with ripe, structured tannins and a long finish. A rich vintage for this wine, it’s going to have some real aging potential and drink well over the next 15 years. — acclaim for 2021 Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino from Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2025

“Restrained raspberries, leather, violets and cherry pits with rusty minerality . Supple palate with a full body, tension from lifted acidity and dense, velvety tannins. Precise and lingering on the finish. One of the best of its category in a promising vintage.” -- James Suckling, 94 points
