The Poggio di Sotto vineyards benefit from a southern exposure that guarantees an optimal microclimate for the full ripening of Sangiovese. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003epoor, stony soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of marl and galestro. The presence of rocky fragments is essential to prevent waterlogging and promote a \u003cstrong\u003enatural water balance\u003c\/strong\u003e. Additionally, the soil absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, contributing to the wine’s \u003cstrong\u003eflavour structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and its capacity to evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with manual harvesting, followed by a double selection of the bunches. \u003cstrong\u003eSpontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e is entrusted to indigenous yeasts and takes place in steel and oak vats, with a maceration of about twenty days marked by pumping over and délestage for optimal colour extraction. After malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes a long period of \u003cstrong\u003eageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about four years, during which regular rackings are carried out. To preserve the sensory profile, bottling takes place \u003cstrong\u003ewithout filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e, concluding the process with a further year of bottle ageing.\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 produces its majestic \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e by making the most of microclimates and south-facing terroirs, ideal for the perfect ripening of Sangiovese.
