2019 Le Potazzine - Brunello di Montalcino (750ml)
Price: $145.00
In Mixed Case: $130.50
We’ve been following this winery for a bit. We've always loved their fresher style. It's run by a woman and her two daughters. The mom was born on the historic Argiano estate, worked at Biondi-Santi, and opened a local wine shop before purchasing this little plot of land with her enologist husband to make Brunello. They're on a high elevation portion of Montalcino (a place which, years ago, was considered undesirable - now with climate change, they're looking pretty savvy…)
“Stunning from the first tilt of the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. This blends an array of dried flowers with autumnal spices, cedar-tinged cherries and clove hints in a way that I find wildly appealing. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk guided by bright acidity as depths of wild berry fruits and mineral tones saturate toward the close. The 2019 lingers impossibly long, leaving a staining of primary concentration to mingle with grippy tannins and licorice nuances, yet an airy freshness remains through it all. The combination of house style and vintage character here is otherworldly. It will take much willpower to keep our hands off the 2019 long enough to watch it properly mature.” - 98 pts, Vinous Media
