Price: $105.00
In Mixed Case: $94.50
Tenuta le Potazzine is a small family run winery located in Le Prata, just south west of the walls of town of Montalcino. Guiseppe Gorelli founded the estate with his wife Gigliola Giannetti in 1993 after years of working for the Brunello Consorzio, choosing to purchase vineyards at 500 meters above sea level for the cooler microclimate found there. In 1996 they invested in a second plot of vines further south and at lower elevation of 340 meters in Sant’Angelo in Colle. The vines planted in Le Prata give Le Potazzine’s Brunello vibrant aromatics and freshness while those planted in Sant’Angelo in Colle offer more depth and structure. Influenced by his years working side by side with the legendary enologist Guilio Gambelli at the Brunello Consorzio, wine making has always been quite traditional at Le Potazzine; the vineyards are worked organically, and the wines see long macerations without temperature control before 40-42 months in Slavonian oak botti for elevage.
