Poggio di Sotto

Piero Palumucci and his wife, Elisabeth, are proprietors of Fattoria Poggio di Sotto, a small farm and winery south of Montalcino that overlooks the village of Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Poggio di Sotto consists of twelve hectares of vineyards and about 1,400 olive trees; about 2,000 cases of wine are produced annually, including Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and Moscatto, and a very exclusive desert wine.

Poggio di Sotto 2003 Brunello

Item RD1168

Sangiovese Grosso: AG, Wine Advocate 94 pts "The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is a subtle wine. Somewhat reticent in its aromatics, it explodes on the palate with a burst of ripe, candied Pinot-like red fruit. Subtle notes of licorice, smoke and tar develop in the glass, but this remains a fruit-driven wine made in an atypically ripe, lush style for this producer. The wine offers lovely balance, well-integrated tannins and most important of all, a sensual, inviting personality that makes it difficult to put the glass down. This is a great effort in a vintage Palmucci describes as very challenging. When all was said and done, in 2003 the estate bottled only 40% of its potential Brunello production and decided against making a Riserva. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018."
