Brunello di Montalcino - Tenuta Le Potazzine

An elegant Brunello that fascinated us with scents that varies from ashes to slightly dried roses, from preserved fruits to sweet spices. A wide and satisfactory taste. Rich in intensity and persistence. A truly great wine.

Description

This estate of small dimensions has been extremely active for several years, thanks also to the support of the owner's son Giuseppe. For many years an employee of the Consortium, he is the technician in charge and the estate's oenologist. The wine cellar is located close to the historic centre, and houses oak casks of a small capacity. Despite its modest dimensions, the estate exports to various counties. “Along with…Giancarlo Pacenti, this is the best of the younger producers of Montalcino, and an estate that has not missed a step since 1988.” Stephen Tanzer, IWC .

EXPERT TASTING NOTES
Intense and persistent to the smell. Elegant. Preserved fruits with a spicy ending. Pleasant mineral tones. Full-bodied taste. Fine. Slightly voluminous. Well spread tannin, still a bit green. Very good wine.
