Brunello di Montalcino Le Potazzine DOCG Tuscany 1.5L

A Brunello from the heart of Tuscany that gathers the elegance of Sangiovese Grosso in 1.5 liters — more volume here means slower oxidation and thus even finer development in the glass.

Tenuta Le Potazzine is located south of Montalcino at an altitude of around 350 meters. The small family winery under the leadership of Gigliola Giannetti is one of the artisanal addresses of the denomination — with limited quantities and viticulture consistently geared towards quality. The Sangiovese vines grow on galestro and clay-containing soils, which give the Brunello its typical tension between fruit and minerality.

In the glass, luminous ruby red. On the nose, ripe sour cherry, orange zest, and rose blossoms, underpinned by clove and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine shows the characteristic Sangiovese acidity — taut but integrated — with firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Pairs with braised wild boar, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or mature Pecorino di Pienza. Serving temperature: 17–18 °C. Decant for one hour before pouring.
