It appears deep ruby red with garnet reflections. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003evigorous and robust\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a harmonious tannic structure that ensures excellent balance of flavour. The aromatic profile is broad and complex, characterised by ethereal and spicy notes of remarkable elegance. It pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003esucculent red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e lie in the area of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, a prime location set in the beautiful surroundings of \u003cstrong\u003eTuscany\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyards grow on south-facing soils, benefiting from an \u003cstrong\u003eideal microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e that encourages full ripening of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003epoor, rocky soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in galestro, have the ability to retain solar heat and gradually release it during the night. This particular geological formation ensures optimal natural drainage, encouraging the roots to seek nourishment deep down and giving the wine its typical and \u003cstrong\u003ehigh structure\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by careful selection of the grape bunches. Destemming and crushing prepare the must for spontaneous fermentation, activated exclusively by indigenous yeasts, which takes place in steel and oak vats. During the approximately twenty days of maceration, frequent pumping over and délestage ensure optimal extraction of colour and polyphenolic components. After malolactic fermentation, the wine embarks on a long maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about four years. The process concludes \u003cstrong\u003ewithout any filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that preserves the extraordinary organoleptic richness of the wine before its final rest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1989 in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, the Poggio di Sotto estate celebrates its thirtieth harvest with this \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e. This organic Sangiovese comes from south-facing soils, characterised by an ideal microclimate. The manual harvest and spontaneous fermentation with \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance the purity of the production. Aged for four years in oak barrels and bottled \u003cstrong\u003ewithout filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wine rests for at least a year in the bottle before offering a sip of genuine excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Poggio di Sotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46223867707563,"sku":"60497","price":213.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/poggio-di-sotto-brunello-di-montalcino-2021_60497_1_8c5d97ea-73f2-453e-83c7-c771883546ae.webp?v=1773811735","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/poggio-di-sotto-brunello-di-montalcino-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
